Function Families
4 families Linear  Quadratic  Exponential  Absolute Value
Linear – Line  y =a x +b
Quadratic – parabola   y =a x 2 +b x +c
Exponential – Slide  y =a ∙ b x
Absolute Value – V  y =a │ x +b  │ +c

Model & Equation? Put equation in Y= to check with points No Absolute Value
Model & Equation? (-2, ¼) (–1, ½) (0, 1) (1, 2) (2,4) Exponential  y  = 2 x
Model & Equation? (-2, 3) (–1, 3/2) (0, 1) (1, 3/2) (2,3) Quadratic  y  = ½  x 2  + 1
Model & Equation? (-2, -3) (–1, -1) (0, 1) (1, 3) (2, 5) Linear  y  = 2 x  + 1
