Warm-up

1. Graph y = 3x.
ANSWER

2. Tell whether the ordered pairs (0, 0), (1, 2), (2, 4),
and (3, 6) represent a linear function.

3. For y = x2 – 3x – 5, find corresponding y-values for


the x-values –2, 1, and 3.
10.8 Compare Linear, Exponential,
and Quadratic Models

•Students will Compare Linear, Exponential,


and Quadratic Models
Identifying from an equation:

no exponent. equation. the
exponent.
y = 5x + 1 y = 2x2 + 3x – 5
y = ½x y = x2 + 9 y = 3x + 1
2x + 3y = 6 x2 + 4y = 7 y = 52x
4x + y = 13
Examples:

• LINEAR, QUADRATIC or EXPONENTIAL?

a)y = 6x + 3

b)y = 7x2 +5x – 2

c)9x + 3 = y

d)42x = 8

EXAMPLE 2 Identify functions using differences or ratios

b.
x –2 –1 0 1 2
y –2 1 4 7 10

Differences: 3 3 3 3

ANSWER

The table of values represents a linear function.


EXAMPLE 2 Identify functions using differences or ratios

Use differences or ratios to tell whether the table of


values represents a linear function, an exponential
function, or a quadratic function.

a. x –2 –1 0 1 2
y –6 –6 –4 0 6

First differences: 0 2 4 6

Second differences: 2 2 2

ANSWER

The table of values represents a quadratic function .


GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2

2. Tell whether the table of values represents a


linear function, an exponential function, or a
quadratic function.

x –2 –1 0 1
y 0.08 0.4 2 10

ANSWER exponential function


x y x y
0 -5 -2 -2
1 -4 -1 -4
2 -1 0 -8
3 4 2 -32
4 11 5 -256
Is the table linear, quadratic or
exponential?

x y x y x y
1 5 1 0 1 3
2 9 2 -1 2 9
3 13 3 0 3 27
4 17 4 3 4 81

EXAMPLE 3 Write an equation for a function

Tell whether the table of values represents a linear


function, an exponential function, or a quadratic
function. Then write an equation for the function.

x –2 –1 0 1 2

y 2 0.5 0 0.5 2
EXAMPLE 3 Write an equation for a function

SOLUTION

STEP 1 Determine which type of function the table of


values represents.

x –2 –1 0 1 2

y 2 0.5 0 0.5 2

First differences: –1.5 –0.5 0.5 1.5

Second differences: 1 1 1
