FUNCTIONS - Linear, Quadratics and Cubic
• Slope-Intercept Form:
y = mx + b
m = slope; b = y-intercept
• Point-Slope Form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
uses point (x1,y1) and m
• Standard Form:
Ax + By = C
A, B and C are integers.
A is positive.
Average rate of
change (slope) is constant.
Maximum/Minimum: Finding the "turning point" (vertex) will locate the maximum or minimum point. The
intervals of increasing/decreasing are also determined by the vertex.
y = x³ y = x³ - 3x² y = x³ - 3x² + 2
