DITOMASSO FINAL EXAM REVIEW #4 - AA Support 2024

Front

What is a parent function?

Back

A parent function is the simplest form of a function in a family of functions. It serves as a reference point for transformations.

Front

How do you identify the transformation of a function?

Back

Transformations can be identified by changes in the function's equation, such as shifts, stretches, or reflections.

Front

What does it mean to shift a function 1 unit right and 2 units down?

Back

This means to move every point of the graph of the function 1 unit to the right and 2 units down in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the cube root of a number?

Back

The cube root of a number x is a number y such that y^3 = x.

Front

How do you find the center point of a function?

Back

The center point can often be found by analyzing the vertex of a parabola or the center of a circle in the function's equation.

Front

What is the significance of the graph of a function?

Back

The graph visually represents the relationship between the input (x) and output (y) values of the function.

Front

What is the function notation f(x)?

Back

f(x) represents the output of the function f for a given input x.

Front

How do you determine if a function is increasing or decreasing?

Back

A function is increasing if its graph rises as you move from left to right, and decreasing if it falls.

Front

What is a vertical shift in a function?

Back

A vertical shift occurs when a constant is added or subtracted from the function, moving it up or down.

Front

Back

This represents a rational function known as the reciprocal function, which is defined for all x except x=0.
