Question

Instructions: Match the general form of the function to the name.

Answer 1

We need to match each general form of a function to the name.

• In a linear function, the exponent of the variable x is 1. Thus, it has the general form:

$y=mx+b$

where m and b are constants.

• In a quadratic function, there is at least one term for which x has exponent 2. Thus, it has the general form:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

where a, b, and c are constants, and a ≠ 0.

• In an exponential function, x is the exponent of a constant. Thus, its general form is:

$y=a(b^x)+c$

where a, b, and c are constants.
