Today we talked about Parent Functions, which we have all covered in other classes. The parent functions are x squared, square root of x, x cubed, absolute value of x, and x. We also spent some times going over an example in the book that relates to the diagonal compared to the are of a square. We had about 25 minutes to do our homework so I hope we were all productive.

Types of functions
x-squared function f(x)=x2
Square-root of x f(x)=x
Cubed function f(x)=x3
Absolute value function f(x)=x

X function (bottom line) f(x)=x

We discussed making a function from a diagonal of a square. We decided that the best way would be to use the pythagorean theorem with the sides as the legs and the hypotenuse as the diagonal. Here are the steps:

s2=A
s2+s2=d2
2s2=d2
s2=d22
A=s2=d22
A=d22
