Identify the function family to which f belongs. Then compare the graph of f to the graph of its parent function
f(x) = -2x^2 +3

Answer:

The quadratic function family; the parent function has a vertex at (0,0) while the new function is shifted up 3 and is skinnier than the parent function, it's parabola concaves down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it has x^2 in it which means it is a quadratic; a parent function is the original graph so the new function of f(x)= -2x^2+3 is negative, skinnier, and the vertex is shifted up 3 spaces.

A function can be transformed to another through dilation, reflection, translation and rotation. [tex]f(x) = -2x^2 + 3[/tex]  belongs to the quadratic family. The following is the comparison of [tex]f(x) = -2x^2 + 3[/tex] and its parent function [tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

  • Both functions are quadratic
  • The parent function is vertically stretched by 2, rotated along the x-axis and then translated up by 3 units.

Given that:

[tex]f(x) = -2x^2 + 3[/tex]

To identify the function family, we do the following

  • Identify the variable --- the variable of the function is x
  • Check if the variable has any negative exponent -- x has no negative power
  • Identify the highest power of x -- The highest power of x is 2

When there is no negative exponent and the highest power of the variable is 2, then the function belongs to the quadratic family.

Next, we compare the function to its parent function.

The parent function of a quadratic function is:

[tex]y = x^2[/tex]

First, the parent function is vertically stretched by 2. The rule of this transformation is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,2y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y' = 2x^2[/tex]

The function is then rotated along the x-axis. The rule of this is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,-y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y" = -2x^2[/tex]

Lastly, the function is translated up by 3 units. The rule of this is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,y+3)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f(x) = -2x^2 + 3[/tex]

In conclusion:

  • Both functions are quadratic
  • The parent function is vertically stretched by 2, rotated along the x-axis and then translated up by 3 units.
