CCP College Alg- Homework 7.1 - Parent Graphs

Front

What is the parent function of a linear equation?

Back

The parent function of a linear equation is represented as y = x.

Front

Match the function to the graph: y = x^2

Back

The graph of y = x^2 is a parabola that opens upwards.

Front

What is the parent function of an exponential growth equation?

Back

The parent function of an exponential growth equation is represented as y = a^x, where a > 1.

Front

What is the parent function of an absolute value equation?

Back

The parent function of an absolute value equation is represented as y = |x|.

Front

What is the parent function of a cubic equation?

Back

The parent function of a cubic equation is represented as y = x^3.

Front

What are asymptotes in a function?

Back

Asymptotes are lines that a graph approaches but never touches or crosses.

Front

What is the definition of an even function?

Back

An even function is symmetric about the y-axis, meaning f(x) = f(-x).

Front

What is the definition of an odd function?

Back

An odd function is symmetric about the origin, meaning f(-x) = -f(x).

Front

Identify the asymptotes of the function y = 1/x.

Back

The function y = 1/x has vertical asymptote at x = 0 and horizontal asymptote at y = 0.

Front

What is the parent function of a rational function?

Back

The parent function of a rational function is represented as y = 1/x.
