Determining Linear, Exponential, or Quadratic

Which student's number pattern is linear?

• Ashley

• Hector

• Jamal

• Karina

Which function increases faster: f(x) = 4x or g(x) = 3^x ?

• f(x)

• g(x)

• Neither - they increase at the same rate

How should this function be classified?

• Linear

• Exponential

• Quadratic

• None of the above

Hey there! Caylen, Collin, and Ashley are on a treasure hunt. They stumbled upon an ancient door with a riddle that reads: 'Find the zeros of this quadratic to unlock the treasure.' Can you help them out?

• b=4/5, b=3

• b=4, b=-3

• b=1/5, b=3

• b=4/5, b=-3

Answer explanation

The zeros of the quadratic can be found by setting the equation equal to zero and solving for b. The correct zeros are b=4/5 and b=-3.

Hey there! Tai, Tyrone, and Ashley are on a quest to find the magical exponential function. Can you help them identify which of these is truly an exponential spell?

• y = x²

• f(x) = 3x³

• f(x) = 3^x

Answer explanation

The exponential function is f(x) = 3^x, which is the only choice in the list that fits the criteria.

Alright, math detectives! Jahaziel, Nataly, and Caylen have stumbled upon a mysterious graph while on their adventure in the land of Algebra. They need your help to identify which point marks the secret y-intercept that will unlock the next clue. Can you help them out?

• (3,4)

• (-2,8)

• (0,4)

• (5,0)

Answer explanation

The point (0,4) is an example of a y-intercept because it intersects the y-axis at y=4, making it the correct choice.
