Solve the following equations and show your work:
1) sqrt of x - 2 = 1
2) sqrt of x^3 = 27
3) 3 sqrt of x^2 = 9
4) Is (sqrt of x)^2 an identity (true for all nonnegative values of x)?

x -2 -1 0 1 2

y .111 .333 1 3 9

Given the table above, graph the function, identify the graph of the function (line, parabola, hyperbola, or exponential), explain your choice, and give the domain and range as shown in the graph, and also the domain and range of the entire function.
