What is a constant function?

Back

A constant function is a function that always returns the same value, regardless of the input. For example, f(x) = 1 is a constant function.

What is an absolute value function?

Back

An absolute value function is a function that outputs the non-negative value of its input. For example, f(x) = |x| is an absolute value function.

Front

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line. It can be expressed in the form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, typically in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

Front

What is a square root function?

Back

A square root function is a function that involves the square root of the input. For example, f(x) = √x is a square root function.

Front

What is a reciprocal function?

Back

A reciprocal function is a function of the form f(x) = 1/x, which is defined for all x except x = 0.

Front

What is a cubic function?

Back

A cubic function is a polynomial function of degree 3, typically in the form f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d, where a, b, c, and d are constants.

Front

What is an exponential function?

Back

An exponential function is a 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.

Front

What is the parent function of a constant function?

Back

The parent function of a constant function is f(x) = c, where c is a constant value.

Front

What is the parent function of an absolute value function?

Back

The parent function of an absolute value function is f(x) = |x|.
