Parent Functions
1
To express the function g( x) in terms of the parent function f( x) = x^2, you can write
g( x) = f( x) +6
So, g( x) = x^2+6 is in terms of the parent function f( x) = x^2.
To express the function g( x) in terms of the parent function f( x) = x^2, you can write
g( x) = f( x)- 3
So, g( x) = x^2- 3 is in terms of the parent function f( x) = x^2.
a. The parent function f( x) would be a boxy function, which is generally represented as
f( x) = x^3. thus, the parent function f( x) in this case would be: f( x) = x^3
b. To express the function g( x) in terms of the parent function f( x) = x^3, you can write
g( x) = - f( x- 2). So, g( x) = -( x- 2)^3 is in terms of the parent function f( x) = x^3.
a. The absolute value function, f(x) = |x|, is the parent function 'f' related to the
function g(x) = |x - 1| + 5.
b.
The function g(x)= |x1|+5 is expressed in terms of the parent function f(x) = |x| as; g(x) = f(x
a. The parent function is f(x) = x
