how does a linear functions look like on a graph?
its a straight line
whats another word for exponential?
ascending
is a quadratic function a polynomial?
yes
this formula is for what function?
f(x) = ax
exponential function
whats one way to solve a linear function?
distributive property
exponential functions are one of the main important?
yes
do quadratic functions have a degree of two/more?
yes their polynomial
what functions does this belong to?
f(x)=ax2+bx+c
quadratic function
how do you determine a linear function?
Start by finding the slope and the x and y-intercepts.
what does it mean by exponetial?
involving a variable in an exponent 10(or any number to the power of)x
how do you determine if a graph is quadratic?
if its in a U-shaped curve called a parabola.
what formula does this belong to?
y = mx + b
linear functions
how do you plot linear functions?
Locate the y-intercept on the graph and plot the point. From this point, use the slope to find a second point and plot it. then connect the lines.
how do you determine a exponential function?
the independent variable, or x-value, is the exponent
how do you find the max or min in a quadratic function?
Put the quadratic in standard form then solve.
The formula y = mx + b is said to be a linear function so what are the intercept for this?
(x, y) plane
or x-intercepts and y-intercepts
how can you tell if a function is linear and nonlinear?
simplify the equation as closely as possible to the form of y = mx + b. If it has exponents, it is nonlinear. If your equation has no exponents, it is linear.
how do you solve exponential functions?
Rewrite the problem using the same base then simplify the problem. and drop the base and set the exponents together and x=you're anwser
how do you solve quadratic functions?
Put all terms on one side of the equal sign, leaving zero on the other side then Factor and Set each factor equal to zero.Solve each of these equations.
If a is positive, the graph opens upward, and if a is negative, then it opens downward. for what does this logic belong to which function?
quadratic function
