Identifying Parent Functions

Front

What is a parent function?

Back

A parent function is the simplest form of a function type, which serves as a foundation for more complex functions.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

Front

What is the parent function for square root functions?

Back

The parent function for square root functions is f(x) = √x.

Front

What is the parent function for exponential functions?

Back

The parent function for exponential functions is f(x) = a*b^x, where a is a constant and b is the base.

Front

What type of function is represented by f(x) = x^(1/3)?

Back

This function represents a cube root function.

Front

What is the general form of a linear function?

Back

The general form of a linear function is f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is the parent function for quadratic functions?

Back

The parent function for quadratic functions is f(x) = x^2.

Front

What is the domain of the square root function f(x) = √x?

Back

The domain of the square root function is x ≥ 0.

Front

What is the shape of the graph of a cubic function?

Back

The graph of a cubic function has an S-shape and can extend to positive and negative infinity.

Front

What is the parent function for absolute value functions?

Back

The parent function for absolute value functions is f(x) = |x|.
