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 an absolute value function?

Back

An absolute value function is a function that outputs the distance of a number from zero on the number line, represented as f(x) = |x|.

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 cubic function?

Back

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

Front

What is a square root function?

Back

A square root function is a function that involves the square root of a variable, typically in the form f(x) = √x.

Front

What is the parent function of a linear function?

Back

The parent function of a linear function is f(x) = x.

What is the parent function of an absolute value function?

Back

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