Front

How can you identify a quadratic function from its graph?

Back

A quadratic function's graph is a parabola, which opens upwards or downwards. It has a vertex, and the axis of symmetry is a vertical line through the vertex.

Front

What is the difference between linear and quadratic functions?

Back

Linear functions have a constant rate of change and graph as straight lines, while quadratic functions have a variable rate of change and graph as parabolas.

Front

What is the common difference in a linear function?

Back

The common difference is the constant amount that each term increases or decreases by in a linear sequence.

Front

What is the common ratio in an exponential function?

Back

The common ratio is the factor by which each term in an exponential sequence is multiplied to get the next term.

Front

What does the vertex of a quadratic function represent?

Back

The vertex of a quadratic function represents the maximum or minimum point of the parabola, depending on its orientation.
