Question

Which of the following is not an example of a parent function? A. y = x B.y=2x^3 C.y=1/x D.y=2^x

Answer 1

c, IS THE FINAL ANSWER

Answer 2

B.
`y=2x^3`

Explanation:

A. y = x

Given a linear function. There is no number added or subtracted with x. also the number is no multiplied with x. So this is a parent function

B.
`y=2x^3`

Here 2 is multiplied with
`x^3`. so there will be stretch or compression on graph. The parent function for
`y=2x^3` is
`y=x^3`

This is not an example of parent function

C.
`y=(1)/(x)`

There is no number attached with x. so this is a parent rational function.

D.
`y=2^x`

2^x is an exponential function. It is an example of parent function.
