Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals", "squared", "cubed" etc. Please use "brackets" (or parentheses) because it is impossible to work out whether x plus y squared is x + y2 of (x + y)2.

What is the parent function for a quadratic function?
y = x2 is the parent function, but it can be in the form y = ax2 + bx + c
Example of a function that has no inverse function?
y = sin x is such a function. It has an inverse, of course; but the inverse, sin-1, strictly speaking, is not a function.Example: Given that x = pi/6, y must equal 0.5. However, given that y = 0.5, x can equal pi/6, 5 pi/6, 13 pi/6, 17 pi/6, or an infinity of values, both positive and negative.For y to be a function of x, and x to be, also, a function of y, there must be exactly one value of y that answers to a given value of x, and vice-versa. Then, and only then, is each function the inverse of the other.
Write the function that is vertically stretched by a factor of 3 and translated 2 units left from its parent function?
y = 3*f(x + 2)
What are the characteristics of the graph of the reciprocal parent function?
It is a reflection of the original graph in the line y = x.
How can transformations alter the graph of a parent function?
OK, so let's call the parent function you're given f(x). There's a series of transformations a parent function can go through:-f(x) = makes the parent function reflect over the x-axisOn the other hand, f(-x) = makes it reflect over the y-axisf(x+a) = makes the parent function shift a units to the leftf(x-a) = makes the parent function shift a units to the rightf(x)+a = makes the parent function shift a units upf(x)-a = makes the parent function shift a units downf(ax) if x is a fraction like 1/2 , makes the parent function stretch by a factor of 2 (or multiply each x by 2)f(ax) if x is a whole number (or fractions greater or equal to 1) like 2, makes the parent function compress by a factor of 2 (or divide each x by 2)a*f(x) if x is a fraction like 1/2, makes the parent function get shorter by a factor of 2 (or divide each y by 2)a*f(x) if x is a whole number (or fractions greater or equal to 1) like 2, makes the parent function get taller by a factor of 2 (or multiply each y by 2)One way you can always tell what to do is that everything that is INSIDE the parentheses will be the OPPOSITE of what you think it should do. OUTSIDE the parentheses will do EXACTLY what you think it should do.And when performing the transformations, start inside the parentheses first and then move outside. For example, f(x-2)+2; move the parent function first to the right 2 units and THEN move it up 2 units.
