This interactive figure will display graphs of four main parent functions: [br][list][*]The parent absolute value function[br][/*][*]The parent quadratic function[br][/*][*]The parent cubic function[br][/*][*]The parent square root function[br][/*][/list][br]The graphs of each of the parent functions are dashed. [br][br]Suppose [b][color=#0000ff][i]f[/i] is the function whose graph is displayed[/color][/b]. [br]The [color=#0000ff]dashed graph (soon-to-appear) is the graph of the parent function of [/color][i][color=#0000ff]f[/color].[/i] [br][br]You can modify specific parameters of this equation using the sliders.
