Front

What is a parent function?

Back

A parent function is the simplest form of a function type that can be transformed to create more complex functions.

What is the parent function of a quadratic function?

Back

The parent function of a quadratic function is y = x².

Front

What is the parent function of a linear function?

Back

The parent function of a linear function is y = x.

Front

What is the parent function of an absolute value function?

Back

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

Front

What is the parent function of a cubic function?

Back

The parent function of a cubic function is y = x³.

Front

What is the general form of a linear function?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify a quadratic function from its graph?

Back

A quadratic function's graph is a parabola that opens upwards or downwards.

Front

What does the graph of an absolute value function look like?

Back

The graph of an absolute value function forms a 'V' shape.

Front

What is the significance of the vertex in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point of the parabola, indicating the maximum or minimum value of the function.

Front

What is the domain of a linear function?

Back

The domain of a linear function is all real numbers.
