Algebra 1 SLO (Function Families)

Front

What is a maximum in the context of a graph?

Back

A maximum is the highest point on a graph, where the function value is greater than all nearby points.

Front

What is a minimum in the context of a graph?

Back

A minimum is the lowest point on a graph, where the function value is less than all nearby points.

Front

Back

Exponential function.

Front

What are the characteristics of a linear function?

Back

A linear function has a constant rate of change and its graph is a straight line.

Front

What are the characteristics of a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function has a variable rate of change and its graph is a parabola.

Front

What are the characteristics of an exponential function?

Back

An exponential function grows or decays at a constant percentage rate, and its graph is not a straight line.

Front

How can you identify a decreasing function from its graph?

Back

A decreasing function has a graph that slopes downward from left to right.

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of the function when x=0.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be increasing?

Back

A function is increasing if its values rise as the input values increase.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be decreasing?

Back

A function is decreasing if its values fall as the input values increase.
