What is the domain of the function $f (x) = \sqrt{x - 3 x^{2}}$ ?

Graph the function $f$ by starting with the graph of $y = x^{2}$ and using transformations (shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflection). Verify your results using a graphing utility.

Hint: If necessary, write $f$ in the form $f (x) = a (x - h)^{2} + k$ .

$f (x) = 2 x^{2} - 4 x + 1$

True or False The average rate of change of $f (x) = 2 x + 8$ is $8 .$

List the intercepts of the equation $y = x^{2} - 9$ .

In Problems 21–28, determine whether the given function is linear or nonlinear. If it is linear, determine the equation of the line .
