Front

What type of function best models the height of a thrown ball?

Back

A quadratic function best models the height of a thrown ball, as it follows a parabolic trajectory.

What is the general form of a linear function?

How do you determine which function has the largest y-intercept?

Front

What is the difference between linear and quadratic functions?

Back

Linear functions have a constant rate of change and graph as straight lines, while quadratic functions have a variable rate of change and graph as parabolas.

Front

What is the vertex of a quadratic function?

Back

The vertex of a quadratic function is the highest or lowest point on the graph, depending on the direction of the parabola.

Front

What does the term 'exponential function' refer to?

Back

Front

How can you identify a linear function from a set of functions?

Back

A linear function can be identified by its constant slope and the absence of variables raised to a power greater than 1.

Front

What is the significance of the coefficient 'a' in a quadratic function?

Back

The coefficient 'a' in a quadratic function determines the direction of the parabola: if 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards; if negative, it opens downwards.
