Welcome to MathforAll!
In this video, we are going to learn three parent functions and how to translate them.
- We introduce the three parent functions, y=x, y=x2, and y= the absolute value of x.
- We show how a number outside the grouping symbols of x, known as ‘k’, translate the function vertically
- We show how a number inside the grouping symbols of x, known a ‘h’, translate the function horizontally, but ‘opposite’ the way the sign shows.
