1.3 Exploring Properties of Parent Functions PDF

1. The document discusses properties of parent functions including linear, quadratic, square root, and reciprocal functions. 2. The linear parent function is f(x)=x which produces a straight line through the origin with a slope of 1. 3. The quadratic parent function is f(x)=x^2 which produces a parabola with a vertex at the origin that opens upward.

1.3 Properties of Parent Functions


• In mathematics, every function can be classified as a member of a family.

• Each member of a family of functions is related to the simplest, or most


basic, function sharing the same characteristics.
This function is called the parent function. → linear y X

• Here are some members of the linear and quadratic families.


The parent functions are in green.
