Question

Which function could be the parent of y = 3|x| ?

Answer 1

a. y=|x|
b. y=3x
c. y=x^3
d. y=3+x

I'm thinking that it's y=3x but I'm not very sure

Answer 2

I am confused about (a) and (b).

Answer 3

90% a and 10% b

Answer 4

its a

Answer 5

Hmm, must be "a" only then since you say it! ;)

Answer 6

ok i was stuck between the first two, thank you!

Answer 7

Parent functions can be transformed to create other members in a family of graphs.

Answer 8

What inclined me to say it could have been b also since if you take modulus of 3x, it comes to be 3|x|

Answer 9

but parent function ie originator graph is y=mod(x) as y=3x is a straight line......isnt it?

Answer 10

@shubhamsrg

Answer 11

Yep, that reasoning sounds more sound. Hence b it should be.

Answer 12

I mean a, a it should be.
