The function you've provided is \( f(x) = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{x} \).
If you need assistance with this function, here are some common topics we could cover:
Domain: The function \( \sqrt{x} \) is defined for \( x \geq 0 \). Therefore, the domain of \( f(x) \) is \( [0, \infty) \).
Range: Since \( \sqrt{x} \) takes values from 0 to \( \infty \), and is multiplied by \( \frac{1}{2} \), the range of \( f(x) \) is also \( [0, \infty) \).
Derivative: To find the derivative \( f'(x) \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{x}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} = \frac{1}{4 \sqrt{x}} \quad \text{for } x > 0 \]
Graph: The graph of this function is a curve that starts at the origin (0,0) and rises to the right, getting less steep as \( x \) increases.
Integration: If you were to integrate \( f(x) \), you would do so as follows: \[ \int f(x) \, dx = \int \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{x} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} x^{3/2} + C = \frac{1}{3} x^{3/2} + C \] where \( C \) is the constant of integration.
