Study Notes
Linear Parent Function
- Defined by the equation y = x with a constant slope.
- Domain and range include all real numbers.
Quadratic Parent Function
- Simplest form is y = x^2, resulting in a parabola.
- Graph passes through the origin (0,0).
- Situated primarily in Quadrants I and II.
Absolute Value Function
- Features algebraic expressions enclosed within absolute value symbols.
- Outputs only non-negative values regardless of the input.
Cubic Parent Function
- Expressed as f(x) = x^3, starting at the origin (0, 0).
- Characterizes a curve that extends into all four quadrants.
Logarithmic Parent Function
- Functions such as y = loga x or y = ln x act as inverses to exponential functions.
- Essential for solving equations involving exponentials.
Rational Parent Function
- Defined by f(x) = 1/x, resulting in a hyperbola.
- Domain and range exclude the value 0, as it causes the function to be undefined.
- Excluded values represent x-values that make f(x) undefined.
Exponential Parent Function
- Formulated as y = ab^x where a and b are positive, and b ≠ 1.
- Represents growth or decay processes, fundamental in various scientific disciplines.
Square Root Function
- Parent function is defined as f(x) = √x, which yields non-negative outputs.
- Graph starts at the origin (0,0) and opens to the right.
