Function and Parent Functions - Transformations

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. Examples include linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

What does a vertical compression by a factor of 1/2 do to a function?

Back

It reduces the height of the graph by half, making it flatter.
