QuestionIdentify the parent function and transformations for . Options for parent function: , , , , .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The function is . We need to identify the parent function and the transformations applied to it.
STEP 2
The parent function is the simplest form of the given function. Looking at the function , we can see that the parent function is . This is because the absolute value function is the simplest form of the given function.
So, the correct parent function is .
STEP 3
Next, we need to identify the transformations applied to the parent function. The general form of the absolute value function with transformations is , where- determines vertical stretches or compressions and reflections over the x-axis. - determines horizontal stretches or compressions and reflections over the y-axis. - determines horizontal shifts. - determines vertical shifts.
STEP 4
Looking at the function , we can see that , , , and .
STEP 5
Since , there is no vertical stretch or compression, and there is no reflection over the x-axis. So, there is no transformation for part (b) and part (c).
STEP 6
Since , there is a horizontal shift of3 units to the left. So, the correct transformation for part (e) is a horizontal shift of3 units to the left.
STEP 7
Since , there is a vertical shift of6 units upwards. So, the correct transformation for part (d) is a vertical shift of6 units upwards.
To summarizea) The correct parent function is .
b) There is no reflection.
c) There is no stretch or compression.
d) The correct vertical shift is6 units upwards.
e) The correct horizontal shift is3 units to the left.
