Problem
What is the ordered pair of the endpoint in the standard form of a square root function y = 5sqrt(x-4)-1?
Step-by-step solution
The standard form of a square root function is $y = a\sqrt{x-h} + k$, where $(h, k)$ is the endpoint. In the given function $y = 5\sqrt{x-4} - 1$, we have $h=4$ and $k=-1$.
Answer
$(4, -1)$
