Front

What is the general form of an exponential function?

Back

f(x) = a(b)^x, where 'a' is the initial value and 'b' is the growth factor.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation in the form y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of 'b' when x = 0.

Front

What is the difference between the domain and range of a function?

Back

The domain is the set of x-values, while the range is the set of y-values.
