Parent Functions edition

Multiple Choice

What is the name of the parent function and equation for the graph?

• Rational - y = 1/x
• Absolute Value - y = |x|
• Linear - y = x
• Quadratic - y = x²

Multiple Choice

Name the parent function. 

• constant
• square root
• linear
• absolute value

Multiple Choice

Name the parent function.

• quadratic
• cubic
• square root
• logarithmic

Multiple Choice

Which parent function matches the graph?

• y = |x|
• y = x
• y = x²
• y = 2^x

When you make a change to the x inside the parentheses or absolute value

Move graph left or right, SLIDING opposite direction of the sign. LEFT FOOT UP, RIGHT FOOT SLIDE! So, if the negative "foot" is up, slide to the positive right. Left "foot" up, right foot slide. Can't let this one slide...

Quadratics Parent function  $y=x^2$  

Horizontal translations

•  $y=\left(x+2\right)^2$  Notice the change to the original parent function is INSIDE parentheses and we moved 2 left, since the sign was positive. The blue line moved 4 to the right because of the -4 inside the parentheses.

Multiple Choice

The blue graphs is the parent function f(x)=|x|, the red must be

• g(x)=|x+2|

• g(x)=|x|+2

• g(x)=|x-2|

• g(x)=|x|-2

Multiple Choice

Tell how the graph transformed.
y = (x - 3)²

• Translated right 3
• Translated left 3
• Translated up 3
• Translated down 9

Up and down movement of a function is called a vertical translation.

• When something is added OUTSIDE parentheses or absolute value, it shows vertical movement.

• The black graph moved up five units from the parent function, so we know the equation for this would be:

•  $y=x^2+5$  

Vertices

• The parent function  $x^2$  has a vertex at the origin, or (0, 0)

•  $y=x^2+5$  The movement upward changes the vertex of the new function to (0,5)

Multiple Choice

If the blue is f(x)=x^2, then the red must be

• g(x)=x²-5
• g(x)=x²+5
• g(x)=(x-5)²
• g(x)=(x+5)²

Multiple Choice

(0,0) is vertex of blue parent f(x)=x² _{What is the vertex of the new, red function?}

• (5, 0)

• (0, -5)

• (0, 0)

• (5, 5)

Multiple Choice

• Left 2, Down 2, Vertical Stretch
• Right 2; Up 1; 
• Vertical Stretch; Right 2; Up 1
• Left 2; Down 2;

Multiple Choice

• f(x)=x² + 2
• f(x) = (x-2)² + 1
• f(x)= (x+2)² - 1
• f(x)= (x+2)² + 1

 $y\ =\ \left(x-2\right)^2+1$  

• Inside parentheses change - opposite sign, so move to the right two

• Addition outside parentheses, move up 1

• Results in a vertex of (2, 1) Are you starting to see the pattern?

Rewind your mind 🔙 with the linear parent function & changes in slope.

• Slope y=mx+b, slope is m

• y=2x steeper slope

• y=x linear parent function

• y=1/2x wider slope

Rewind your mind 🔙 with the absolute value parent function & dilations

• Dilations are also known as a stretch or a shrink and change the size of the graph, where translations just slid the graph's position and size stayed same.

• y=|2x| steeper, "thinner," stretched up, vertical stretch

• y=|x| absolute value parent function

• y=|1/2x| wider, "smooshed down," shrunk, vertical compression

Dilations work the same in quadratics.

• Dilations are also known as a stretch or a shrink.

• y=4x^2 "skinnier," more vertically stretched dilation

• y=x^2 quadratic or square parent function

• y=(1/4x)^2   wider, "shrunken" version of the parent. Compression

• y= - x^2 results in a reflection across the x axis.  

Multiple Choice

Reflections

• a negative version of the function

• y = x^2 quadratic parent function

• y = -x^2 "flips"the parent upside down like a reflection in a pool

Absolute Value Reflection

• y = |x| parent function

• y = -|x| reflection of parent

Multiple Choice

 $-f\left(x\right)$  ?
