PARENT FUNCTIONS Module 2 Lesson 4 What is a parent function? We use the term ‘parent function’ to describe a family of graphs. The parent function gives a graph all of the unique properties and then we use transformations to move the graph around the plane. You have already seen this with lines. The parent function for a lines is y = x. To move the line around the Cartesian plane, we change the coefficient of x (the slope) and add or subtract a constant (the y intercept), to create the family of lines, or y = mx + b. To graph these functions, we will use a table of values to create points on the graph. Parent Functions we will explore Name Parent Function Constant Function f(x) = a number Linear f(x) = x Absolute Value f(x) = |x| Quadratic f(x) = x2 Cubic y x f(x)= x3 Square Root f ( x) x Cubic Root f ( x) 3 x Exponential f(x) = bx where b is a rational number Symmetry Many parent functions have a form of symmetry. There are two types of symmetry: Symmetry over the y-axis Symmetry over the origin. If a function is symmetric over the y-axis, then it is an even function. If a function is symmetric over the origin, then it is an odd function.

Constant Function Linear (Identity) Absolute Value Quadratic Cubic Root Exponential Square Root Cubic Constant Function f(x) = a where a = any # All constant functions are line with a slope equal to 0. They will have one y-intercept and either NO x-intercepts or they will be the x-axis. The domain will be {All Real numbers}, also written as , or from negative infinity to positive infinity. The range will be {a}.
