Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 287 People


Name a parent function where the graph is shaped like the letter "u".

Name a parent function where the graph is shaped like the letter "v"?

Answered by admin @



The parent function where the graph is shaped like a letter "u" is f(x) = x². This is known as the parent function for parabolas or quadratic functions.

The parent function where the graph is shaped like a letter "v" is  f(x) = |x|. This is known as the absolute value function.
