Comparing Linear and Quadratic Functions

1. Linear Function

1.1. A linear function is a function that the result of the equation will have one independent and dependent variable which the independent will be the x and the dependent is the y.

1.1.1. b is the coefficient of the independent variable. For an example y = f(x) = a + bx= bx is the b coefficient.

1.1.1.1. a is the y intercept. For an example f(x)= a + bx= a is the the y- intercept.

2. Quadratic Function

2.1. Quadratic function is in the form of an equation of f(x) = ax squared(2) + bx + c. The a, or b and c do not equal zero
