The parent (toolkit) function refers to a set of basic, commonly used functions in mathematics, which serve as building blocks for more complex functions. These parent functions have well-defined equations and graphs. Without specifying a particular function, I will assume you're asking for some common examples of parent functions. Here are five examples with their equations and a description of their graphs:

1. Linear Function:

   • Equation: $f(x) = x$
   • Graph: A straight line passing through the origin with a slope of 1.

2. Quadratic Function:

   • Equation: $f(x) = x^2$
   • Graph: A parabola that opens upward, with its vertex at the origin.

3. Cubic Function:

   • Equation: $f(x) = x^3$
   • Graph: An S-shaped curve that passes through the origin, with symmetry about the origin.

4. Absolute Value Function:

   • Equation: $f(x) = |x|$
   • Graph: A V-shaped graph with its vertex at the origin, opening upwards.

5. Square Root Function:

   • Equation: $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$
   • Graph: A half-curve starting at the origin, increasing slowly as $x$ increases.

If you have a specific parent function in mind, I can focus on that. Otherwise, I can sketch one of these graphs for you.

Would you like to see a graph of a particular one, or more details on any of these functions?

Relative Questions:

1. What is the domain and range of the quadratic parent function $f(x) = x^2$?
2. How does the graph of $f(x) = |x|$ differ from $f(x) = x^2$?
3. What transformations can be applied to the cubic function $f(x) = x^3$?
4. What is the effect of a negative sign on the square root function $f(x) = -\sqrt{x}$?
5. How does the slope of the linear function change if we modify it to $f(x) = 2x$?

Tip:

When transforming parent functions, changes like vertical shifts, horizontal shifts, stretches, and compressions are key to understanding how the graph will behave.
