Identify Type of Function

Front

What type of function grows fastest?

Back

Exponential functions grow faster than linear and quadratic functions.

Front

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line, represented by the equation y = 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, represented by the equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

Front

What is an exponential function?

Back

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

Front

Identify the type of function: y = 3x + 2.

Back

Linear function.

Front

Identify the type of function: y = x^2 + 4x + 4.

Back

Quadratic function.

Front

Identify the type of function: y = 2^x.

Back

Exponential function.

Front

What is the general shape of a quadratic function's graph?

Back

The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola, which opens upwards if a > 0 and downwards if a < 0.

Front

What is the vertex of a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point of the parabola, depending on its direction.

Front

What does the slope of a linear function represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.
