| A | B |
|---|
| translation | shift a parent function in the x or y direction |
| parent function | a function in its simplest form: no coefficients other than 1 multiply it and there are no constants added to the function |
| transformation | changes the parent function by either a coefficient (whole, fraction or negative number) |
| quadratic parent function | f(x) = x^2 |
| inverse parent function | f(x) = 1/x |
| linear parent function | f(x) = x |
| cubic parent function | f(x) = x^3 |
| square root parent function | f(x) = sqrt(x); f(x) = x^1/2 |
| absolute value parent function | f(x) = |x| |
| negative coefficient | flips the function over the x axis |
| fractional coefficient < 1 | narrows the parent function |
| coefficient > 1 | widens the parent function |
