Make a table of values which you can plot. For example:
x |
y=√(x+1) |
-1 |
0 |
0 |
1 |
3 |
2 |
8 |
3 |
15 |
4 |
24 |
5 |
35 |
6 |
48 |
7 |
63 |
8 |
You need different scales for x and y to plot these points. x goes from -1 to 63, while y only goes from 0 to 8. The origin of the graph will be near the bottom left of the page. There can be no negative values of x lower than -1: The graph starts at (-1,0) and continues rightwards very gradually towards infinity, so it's very shallow. The graph should look something like this when you connect the points:
