What is the average rate of change of a function between two points?

Back

The average rate of change of a function between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated as \( \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \).

Define 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 and a ≠ 0.

Front

What is the formula for the average rate of change of a quadratic function?

Back

The average rate of change of a quadratic function between two points \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) is given by \( \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1} \).

How do you find the difference of two functions, P(x) and Q(x)?

Back

To find the difference of two functions, subtract the second function from the first: \( P(x) - Q(x) \).

How do you find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?

Back

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula: \( a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d \), where \( a_1 \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference.

What is the formula for a linear function?

Back

A linear function can be expressed in the form \( f(x) = mx + b \), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How do you model data using a function?

Back

To model data using a function, identify the relationship between the variables and choose a function type (linear, quadratic, etc.) that best fits the data.
