Front

What is the parent function of a cube root function?

Back

f(x) = ∛x

Front

What is the parent function of an exponential function?

Back

f(x) = a*b^x, where a and b are constants.

Front

What is the parent function of a logarithmic function?

Back

f(x) = log_b(x), where b is the base of the logarithm.

How does the graph of f(x) = x² differ from f(x) = x?

Back

f(x) = x² is a parabola opening upwards, while f(x) = x is a straight line.
