Question

Compare the function with the parent function. Without graphing, what are the vertex, axis of symmetry, and transformations of the parent function?

y = │8x – 2│ – 7

(–, –7);
x = –;
translated to the right units and up 7 units
(, 7);
x = ;
translated to the right units and up 7 units
(–, 7);
x = –;
translated to the left units and up 7 units
(, –7);
x = ;
translated to the right units and down 7 units

Answer 2

Does it only give you one function?

Answer 3

yes thats the only one.... sorry i havent been giving u medals ! i completely forgopt!

Answer 4

Okay, f(x)=x is the parent function of all linear functions. Give me a minute to figure it out? :o)

Answer 5

Well, in this case it's going to be f(x) = |x|

Answer 6

Its range is greater than or equal to 0

Answer 7

So, thats the parent function

Answer 8

Here's our parent function graph.

Answer 9

im sorry im really confused

Answer 10

Okay, if you read this site and go through the little slide show I think you'll understand a little more. So read this and tell me if you understand the parent function. :o) Remember, with this function we're looking at the absolute value. :o)
