Alg. 1, Unit 5: (NEW!) Comparing Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Functions
Linear Function h(x) My function has aconstant rate of change. The values of my function willexceed the values of the otherfunctions over the interval [-1, 1]. My y-intercept is (0, 2). My function is always increasing. Quadratic Function g(x) My function is decreasingfrom (∞, -4). My function increasesand decreases. My function intersects a differentfunction at a point between 1 and 2, and then exceeds that function. I have a minimum of (-4, -4). Exponential Function f(x) My range is (0, ∞). My function models growth rates. As x approaches positive infinity,my function’s values will eventuallyexceed the other function’s values. I have an asymptote of y=0. My y-intercept is (0,1).
