THE PARENT FUNCTION GRAPHS AND TRANSFORMATIONS!
Mashup Math・1 minute read
The constant function f(x) = 5 is a horizontal line, the linear function f(x) = x is a diagonal line with a slope of one, and the absolute value function f(x) = |x| remains above the x-axis, starting at zero and moving up to positive infinity.
Insights
- The constant function f(x) = 5 is a horizontal line with a range of 5 and a domain extending from negative to positive infinity.
- The absolute value function f(x) = |x| is always non-negative, starting at zero and moving up to positive infinity, with a domain from negative infinity to positive infinity.
