The degree of a function is the largest exponent of x in the equation. A linear function, such as y = 2x 1 - 3, has a degree of ____. A quadratic function, such as y = -2x 2 + 4, has a degree of ____. If a function has any other degree it is neither linear nor quadratic. eg y = 3x 3 -2x + 5
6
If the first differences are all the same, the function is linear. If the second differences are all the same, the function is quadratic.
7
Determine if each of the following functions are linear, quadratic, or neither. a) y = -4x 4 + 3x 2 - 6 b) y = x(x + 4) c) y = x 2 + 2x - (x 2 - 3)
