Passes through the origin. As x >=0 for sqrt x to be real, the graph prevails in the 1st and 4th quadrants only. It makes an intercept 1 on the x-axis, at (1, 0).

Explanation:

For x in (0, 1), we get the bottom point at ((1/6)^(2/5), -0.21), in the 4th quadrant. In the first quadrant, as x to oo, f(x) to oo...
