What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that can be graphically represented in the Cartesian plane as a straight line. It has the form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What is an exponential function?

Back

An exponential function is a mathematical function of the form f(x) = a * b^x, where a is a constant, b is a positive real number, and x is the exponent. The graph of an exponential function shows rapid growth or decay.

What does discrete data mean?

Back

Discrete data refers to countable data that can take on only specific values. For example, the number of cars washed is discrete because you can only wash whole cars.

What does continuous data mean?

Back

Continuous data refers to data that can take on any value within a given range. For example, the height of a person is continuous because it can be measured to any degree of precision.

What is the general form of an exponential function?

Back

The general form of an exponential function is f(x) = a * b^x, where a is a constant, b is the base of the exponential, and x is the exponent.

How can you identify a linear function from its graph?

Back

A linear function can be identified by its straight-line graph, which has a constant slope and does not curve.

Front

How can you identify an exponential function from its graph?

Back

An exponential function can be identified by its curve that either rises or falls rapidly, showing a constant percentage change.

What is the slope of a linear function?

Back

The slope of a linear function is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x, often represented as 'm' in the equation f(x) = mx + b.

What is the y-intercept of a linear function?

Back

The y-intercept of a linear function is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis, represented by 'b' in the equation f(x) = mx + b.
