Question

How to identify the parent function given an equation ?

Answer 1

Answer:

You can identify the parent function by making the equation into its simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove all transformations from the equation (such as plus/minus signs, constants, and extra terms in the equation).  

ex. y= -3x^2+15

The parent function would be y=x^2 after removing everything.
