What does the term 'curve of best fit' mean?

Back

The curve of best fit is a line or curve that best represents the data points in a scatter plot, minimizing the distance between the data points and the curve.

What is the difference between linear and quadratic functions?

Back

Linear functions have a constant rate of change and are represented by a straight line, while quadratic functions have a variable rate of change and are represented by a parabola.

How can you identify a quadratic function from a table of values?

Back

If the second differences of the y-values are constant, the relationship is quadratic.
