Question

Which type of parent function does the equation f(x)=1/x represents

Answer 1

Parent functions are the base function of a family function. is the parent function of the square root function

Explanation:

Given that:

f(x)={x}

The parent function of cube root function is:

f(x)=x^3

The parent function of reciprocal function is:

f(x)=1/x

The parent function of an absolute function is:

f(x)=|x|

The parent function of square root function is:

f(x)=x

By comparing the above parent function to f(x)=x, we can conclude that f(x)=x is the parent function of square root function.

(So your answer is Square root)
