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 y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What is a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, typically expressed in the form y = ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

What is an exponential function?

Back

An exponential function is a mathematical function of the form y = ab^x, where a is a constant, b is a positive real number, and x is the exponent.

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

The general form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

What is the y-intercept of a function?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph of a function crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, y).

How can you identify a quadratic function from a table of values?

Back

A quadratic function will show a constant second difference in the y-values when the x-values are equally spaced.

What is the difference between linear growth and exponential growth?

Back

Linear growth increases by a constant amount, while exponential growth increases by a constant percentage over time.

What is a vertex in a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point of the parabola represented by a quadratic function.

How do you find the x-intercepts of a quadratic function?

Back

To find the x-intercepts, set the quadratic equation to zero and solve for x.
