Function Types and Characteristics

The video tutorial covers linear, quadratic, and exponential models, explaining their equations and properties. It discusses how to graph these functions and identify them using data sets. The tutorial also demonstrates modeling real-world data, focusing on linear functions and their applications.

What is the general form of a linear function?

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = a/x

• y = mx + b

• y = a * b^x

In a quadratic function, what is constant?

• Slopes

• Ratios

• Second differences

• First differences

Which function type is characterized by a U-shaped graph?

• Quadratic

• Exponential

• Logarithmic

• Linear

What is the general form of a quadratic function?

• y = a * b^x

• y = a/x

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = mx + b

Which of the following models is used to represent data that grows by a constant ratio?

• Exponential Model

• Quadratic Model

• Logarithmic Model

• Linear Model

What is the key characteristic of an exponential function's graph?

• It is a straight line.

• It forms a U-shape.

• It has a constant ratio between terms.

• It has a constant difference between terms.

How can you determine if a set of data is best modeled by a linear function?

• By checking for a constant first difference

• By checking for a U-shaped graph

• By checking for a constant second difference

• By checking for a constant ratio

In the context of modeling data, what does a common ratio indicate?

What is the equation used to model a linear function based on the change in Y over the change in X?

• y = a * b^x

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = mx + b

• y = a/x
