2.1 Graphs of Functions (Part 2)


(B) Types of graphs of functions.
 
(a) Linear function: y = mx + c
Highest power of the variable x is 1.

(i
y = mx + c, m > 0


(ii
) y = mx + c, m < 0




(b) Quadratic function: y = ax2 + bx + c
Highest power of the variable x is 2.

(i
y= ax2 + bx + c, a > 0


(ii
) y= ax2 + bx + c, a < 0
