Label the function type:

a

b

c

Exponential Function

Quadratic Function

Linear Function

At large values of x on a graph, which would have the higher y-value?

(rank from lowest to highest)

• 
• 
• 

Answer explanation

Assuming all graphs increase from left to right, at large values for x, exponential functions have the highest y-values

Which situation is best modeled by a quadratic function?

• The height of a ball after it is thrown in the air

• Growth of bacteria in a Petri dish

• Expense to rent a kayak at an hourly rate

• Impact of compound interest on a bank account

The function below models the total number of bacteria inside a Petri dish that is allowed to grow as part of a research experiment.

----- ----- ----- -----

b(t) = 1(2)^t

----- ----- ----- -----

The variable t represents hours since the start of the experiment. Which two statements below are true?

• Initially 1 bacteria is in the Petri dish

• Initially 2 bacteria are in the Petri dish

• The growth rate is 2

• The decay rate is 2

• The growth rate is 1

Jeremy decides to rent the clubhouse at his apartment to celebrate a birthday party. He decides to buy sandwiches for each person he invites. The function below models the total expense for the event.

----- ----- ----- -----

e(s) = 8s + 60

----- ----- ----- -----
