How do you do parent functions? The function y=x2 or f (x) = x2 is a quadratic function, and is the parent graph for all other quadratic functions. The shortcut to graphing the
Each parent function will have a form of y = \log_a x. This means that the parent function for the natural logarithmic function (logarithmic function with a base of e) is equal to
Looking at some parent functions and using the idea of translating functions to draw graphs and write equations. Here is a list of topics: F (x) functions and transformations. Horizontal Shift - Left and Right Units. Vertical Shift - Units Up
