Parent Functions Flashcard

Front

Identify the parent function of a linear function.

Back

f(x) = x

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

All y values, from bottom to top.

Front

Identify the parent function of the graph: Quadratic, Rational, Absolute Value, or Cubic.

Back

Quadratic

Front

What is the Absolute Value Function?

Back

The Absolute Value Function is defined as f(x) = |x|, which outputs the non-negative value of x.

Front

How do you plot the graph of the parent function y = 2x?

Back

Plot the graph by choosing x values, calculating y values (2x), and plotting the points on a graph.

Front

What is a parent function?

Back

A parent function is the simplest form of a function in a family of functions.

Front

What is the parent function of a quadratic function?

Back

f(x) = x^2

Front

What does the domain of a function represent?

Back

The domain represents all possible x values for which the function is defined.
