This document provides instructions for a parent function activity. Students are asked to:
1. Create a title page with their name, class, and date.
2. Define and describe several key terms related to functions, including domain, range, zeros of a function, even functions, odd functions, periodic functions, and one-to-one functions.
3. Graph 14 different parent functions on provided axes and label the graphs with their name.
4. Complete a table providing the domain, range, zeros, y-intercepts, and any symmetries for each of the 14 graphed parent functions.
