How do you compare quadratic exponential and linear functions?
linear functions have constant first differences. quadratic functions have constant second differences. exponential functions have a constant ratio. Remember!
How do you determine if a function is linear exponential or quadratic?
By finding the differences between dependent values, you can determine the degree of the model for data given as ordered pairs. If the first difference is the same value, the model will be linear. If the second difference is the same value, the model will be quadratic.
What are the similarities and differences of linear and exponential?
Linear functions are graphed as straight lines while exponential functions are curved. Linear functions are typically in the form y = mx + b, which is used to discover the slope, or simply the change in y divided by the change in x, while exponential functions are typically in the form y = (1 + r) x.
