Warm-up
1. Graph y = 3x.
ANSWER
Tell whether the ordered pairs (0, 0), (1, 2), (2, 4), and (3, 6) represent a linear function.
2.
For y = x2 – 3x – 5, find corresponding y-values for the x-values –2, 1, and 3.
3.
10.8 Compare Linear, Exponential, and Quadratic Models
•Students will Compare Linear, Exponential, and Quadratic Models
Identifying from an equation:
Linear
Has an x with no exponent.
y = 5x + 1
y = ½x
2x + 3y = 6
Quadratic
Has an x2 in the equation.
y = 2x2 + 3x – 5
y = x2 + 9
x2 + 4y = 7
Exponential
Has an x as the
exponent.
y = 3x + 1
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
Identifying from a graph:
Linear
Makes a straight line
Quadratic
Makes a U or ∩
Exponential
Rises or falls quickly in
one direction
LINEAR, QUADRATIC or EXPONENTIAL?
a) b)
c) d)
Is the table linear, quadratic or exponential?
Quadratic
• See same y more than once.
• 2nd difference is the same
Linear
• Never see the same y value twice.
• 1st difference is the same
Exponential
• y changes more quickly than x.
• Never see the same y value twice.
• Common multiplication pattern
Identify functions using differences or ratiosEXAMPLE 2
ANSWER
The table of values represents a linear function.
x – 2 – 1 0 1 2
y – 2 1 4 7 10
Differences: 3 3 3 3
b.
Identify functions using differences or ratios
EXAMPLE 2
Use differences or ratios to tell whether the table of values represents a linear function, an exponential function, or a quadratic function.
ANSWER
The table of values represents a quadratic function.
x –2 –1 0 1 2
y –6 –6 –4 0 6
First differences: 0 2 4 6
Second differences: 2 2 2

Write an equation for a functionEXAMPLE 3
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
SOLUTION
Write an equation for a functionEXAMPLE 3
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
