Here’s a table matching the characteristics with their corresponding parent functions:
| Characteristics | Parent Function(s) | |------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------| | Its graph passes through the origin | Linear, Cubic, Square Root, Cube Root | | Its graph does not touch the x-axis | Absolute Value, Exponential, Logarithmic | | For all values of x in its domain y increases as x increases | Linear, Exponential | | Its graph never touches Quadrant II or IV | Absolute Value, Exponential | | Both its domain and range consist of all real numbers | Linear, Cubic, Quadratic, Rational, Square Root, Cube Root | | Its graph never touches the y-axis | Rational | | Its graph is symmetric about the y-axis | Quadratic | | Its range values are all non-negative | Absolute Value, Quadratic, Square Root | | For all values of x, y values increase at a constant rate | Linear | | Its graph is symmetric about the x-axis | None | | Its domain values are all non-negative | Absolute Value, Square Root | | Its graph is not continuous | Rational | | Its domain values and range values are non-negative | Absolute Value, Square Root | | Its range values are negative when domain values are negative | Cubic | | Its domain and range values consist of all real numbers except zero | Rational |
Note: Some characteristics may apply to more than one parent function, so multiple functions have been listed where applicable.
