Question

the function g(x) is a transformation of the parent funtion f(x). decide how f(X) WAS TRANSFORMED TO MAKE G(X)

Answer 1

So f(x) is called your parent function, and is usually the simplest form of a function. Some examples of parent functions include: 

 

f(x)=x²

 

f(x)=x

 

f(x)=Absolute value (x)

 

g(x) is a transformation or change of that parent function that either shifts or magnifies the equation. For example: 

 

g(x)= x² +3 would shift the graph up three units

 

^g(x)= 2x² Would make the parabola two times thinner

 

 

Answer 2

We would need to know more about g(x) in order to answer this question. Otherwise, nothing can be said about them or their transformations.

Answer 3

You need to provide more information in order to answer this - either a graph of each function or the equations.
