Answer 1

DESCRIBE EACH FUNCTION AS ONE OR MORE TRANSFORMATIONS OF IT'S PARENT FUNCTION

1. g(x) = log (x + 4)

2. g(x) = -x^2 - 3

3. g(x) = (2 / x +5)

4. g(x) = e ^(-4x)

Answer 2

what's the parent function of g(x) = log (x + 4)

Answer 3

let me graph it on my calc

Answer 4

(0, 0.60)

Answer 5

when I say "parent" function, I'm talking about the most basic form of it before you do any transformations

Answer 6

example: x^2 is a parent function

(x+2)^2 + 7 is a transformed version of the x^2 parent function

Answer 7

idk

Answer 8

here's a list of parent functions commonly used

Answer 9

they consist of the basic shapes you'll see in graphs

example: x^2 has a bowl shape. Any other bowl shape graph is most likely based off the parent function of x^2

Answer 10

oh okay so it would be a natural log

Answer 11

or just log

Answer 12

k

Answer 13

I would say that log(x) is the parent of log (x + 4)

Answer 14

that would be the answer for 1?

Answer 15

how would you describe the transformation?

Answer 16

like how it would look on a graph?

Answer 17

yeah if you want, you can compare the parent function y = log(x) to y = log(x+4)

Answer 18

how are those two different? how are they similar?

Answer 19

they both start from a negative y and go up to a positive y moving to a greater number of x value?
