Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Write the domain for the linear parent function in interval notation.
**Options:**
- \( (-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty) \)
- \( (-\infty, \infty) \)
- \( (-\infty, 0) \)
- \( (0, \infty) \)
**Explanation:**
The domain of the linear parent function, typically represented as \( f(x) = x \), is all real numbers. Therefore, the correct interval notation is \( (-\infty, \infty) \). This means that the function can take any real number as an input.
Expert Solution

Step 1
Linear parent function is of the form y=x.
Domain of any function y=f(x) is the value of x for which the function exists.
