Dealing with graphs of quadratic equations? You should know about the parent function graph first! All graphs of quadratic equations start off looking like this before their transformed. Check it out!
When you're learning about translating square root functions, learning about vertical translations is a MUST! Check out this tutorial and see what it takes to translate a square root function vertically.
When you're learning about translating square root functions, learning about horizontal translations is a MUST! Check out this tutorial and see what it takes to translate a square root function horizontally.
Think about sliding a penny on a table. All you're doing is moving the penny to a new location on the table. That's basically all that's happening when you translate a function! When you translate a function, you're just sliding it to a new location on the coordinate plane!
A great way to better understand how to translate a function is to practice! This tutorial takes you through the steps of graphing a function that's been translated up and to the right.
When you look in the mirror, you see a reflection of yourself. Reflections in math involve flipping something over a line called the line of reflection. This tutorial shows you how to reflect a function over a chosen line!
If you change a function like f(x) to f(-x), it flips the function over the y-axis! Follow along with this tutorial to see how to take a function and reflect it over the y-axis.
Have you ever seen a horizontal line? Then you've seen a constant function! This tutorial introduces constant functions and shows you examples of their equations and graphs!
The graph of a linear function is a line. The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. What does the graph of a cubic function look like? This tutorial introduces you to the basic (parent) function for cubic functions!
Did you know that functions have parents too? Follow along with this tutorial to learn about families of functions and their parent function!
Cubic functions are just one type of function youâ€™ll see in math. This tutorial introduces you to cubic functions, shows you some examples and graphs, and explains the parent function of cubic functions. Check out this tutorial to learn about cubic functions!
