Question

Which parent function is f(x) = |x|?

A. The quadratic parent function
B. The absolute value parent function
C. The linear parent function
D. An exponential parent function

Answer 1

B. The absolute value parent function

Explanation:

`f(x)=|x|`

Referred to as absolute value, the value inside the bars is measured in terms of its distance from 0. Therefore:

`|0|=0\\|3|=3\\|-3|=3`

In essence, a negative value within the bars becomes positive, while a positive value remains positive.
