A family of functions is a group of functions with common characteristics. A parent function is the simplest function with characteristics.
Example:
y= x2 is the parent function for the family of quadractic equations of the form y = ax2 + bx + c .
Y=x
y=-3x+10
Parabal
F(x)=x
the line that crosses through the origin
The parent function of the exponential function is ax
Reciprocal parent function
A parent function refers to the simplest function as regards sets of quadratic functions
When a function is nested inside another function, the outer one is the parent, the inner is the child.
y = x2 is the parent function, but it can be in the form y = ax2 + bx + c
A parent function is a basic function that serves as a foundation for a family of functions. The quadratic function, represented by ( f(x) = x^2 ), is indeed a parent function that produces a parabola when graphed. However, there are other parent functions as well, such as linear functions and cubic functions, which produce different shapes. Therefore, while the parabola is one type of parent function, it is not the only one.
In C programming, there aren't any parent or child functions.

if you need to reflect a 2-d object on a graph over its parent linear function then do as follows: (x,y) --> (-y,-x) hope that helps
anti logarithm
