Question

What would be the parent function related to the function y = x9 + 4? p(x) = x9 p(x) = 4 p(x) = x2 p(x) = x + 4

Answer 1

The graph of
`y=x^9+4` is related to the parent function
`p(x)=x^9`.

Explanation:

we are given a function as:

`y=x^9+4`

We are asked to find a parent function among the given options which is related to the given function.

the graph of the given function has a parent function as:

`p(x)=x^9`

as the given function is just a shift of the graph of parent function p(x).

It is a shift of the graph p(x) '4 units' upward.

we could also see from the graph attached to the answer.
