comparing quadratic and linear function
by terrell martin
1. Linear Function
2. dependent variable = y, then independent = x
3. y = f(x) = a + bx
4. Graph is a Straight line.
5. one independent variable and one dependent variable.
6. Quadratic Function
7. f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are number with a not equal to zero.
8. vary in"width" or "steepness", but they all have the same basic "U" shape.
9. Parabolas open upward or downward.
10. Graph a Quadratic frunction is a surve called a parabola.
