Alg. 1, Unit 5: (NEW!) Comparing Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Functions

Master comparing linear, quadratic, and exponential functions! Discover key characteristics and behaviors of each.

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).
