The three function families
Naming Equations
100
What are all three of the function families?
Linear Function, Quadratic Function, and Absolute Value Function.
100
To what family of function does X+2 belong to and why?
It belongs to the Linear Family, because the highest power of x is one.
200
What are the characteristics of Linear Function Graph?
A continuos straight line.
200
To what family of functions does X^2 - 4 and why?
It belongs to the quadratic family because the highest power of x is two
300
What are the characteristics for quadratic graph?
A "U" shape.
300
I have a graph with two lines and a vertex, what family of functions does it belong to?
The absolute value function.
400
What are the characteristics of a absolute value graph?
there are two lines connected by a vertex
400
I have a graph with a straight continuos line, what family of functions does it belong to?
It is a Linear Function
500
What is the characteristic of the equation for every family of functions?
Linear Function: The highest power of x is 1 Quadratic Function: The highest power of x is 2 Absolute Value Function: There is an absolute value in the rule
500
To what family of functions does 2x^2 +8 and Why?
Quadratic Function, because the highest power of x is two.
