FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an exponential function?
Back
An exponential function is a mathematical function of the form f(x) = a * b^x, where 'a' is a constant, 'b' is a positive real number, and 'x' is the exponent. It represents growth or decay at a constant percentage rate.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a quadratic function?
Back
A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, typically written in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where 'a', 'b', and 'c' are constants and 'a' is not zero.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a linear function?
Back
A linear function is a polynomial function of degree 1, represented by the equation f(x) = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is exponential decay?
Back
Exponential decay is a decrease in a quantity at a rate proportional to its current value, typically modeled by the function f(x) = a * e^(-bx), where 'a' and 'b' are constants.
