Parent functions are the base function of a family function. [tex]f(x) = \sqrt x[/tex] is the parent function of the square root function
Given that:
[tex]f(x) = \sqrt x[/tex]
The parent function of a cube root function is:
[tex]f(x) = x^3[/tex]
The parent function of a reciprocal function is:
[tex]f(x) = \frac 1x[/tex]
The parent function of an absolute function is:
[tex]f(x) = |x|[/tex]
The parent function of a square root function is:
[tex]f(x) = \sqrt x[/tex]
By comparing the above parent functions to [tex]f(x) = \sqrt x[/tex], we can conclude that [tex]f(x) = \sqrt x[/tex] is the parent function of a square root function.
Hence, (d) is true
