  1. Linear, Quadratic and Exponential Functions

  2. Look at the tables and graphs below. The data show three ways you have learned that variable quantities can be related. The relationships shown are linear, quadratic, and exponential.

  3. Look at the tables and graphs below. The data show three ways you have learned that variable quantities can be related. The relationships shown are linear, quadratic, and exponential.

  4. Look at the tables and graphs below. The data show three ways you have learned that variable quantities can be related. The relationships shown are linear, quadratic, and exponential.

  5. In the real world, people often gather data and then must decide what kind of relationship (if any) they think best describes their data.

  6. x 4 x 4 x 4 Example 1 Which kind of model best describes the data? x 4 Plot the data points and connect them. The data appear to be exponential.

  7. + 4 + 40 + 15 + 150 + 30 300 Example 2 Which kind of model best describes the data? Plot the data points and connect them. The data appears to be linear.

  8. + 1 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 5 + 1 Example 3 Which kind of model best describes the data? Plot the data points. + 1 The data appears to be quadratic. + 1

  9. + 1 + 64 –32 + 1 + 32 –32 + 1 0 –32 + 1 –32 Example 4 Look for a pattern in each data set to determine which kind of model best describes the data. Height of golf ball For every constant change in time of +1 second, there is a constant second difference of –32. The data appear to be quadratic.

  10. + 1 – 9 + 1 + 6 – 3 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 9 Example 5 Look for a pattern in the data set {(–2, 10), (–1, 1), (0, –2), (1, 1), (2, 10)} to determine which kind of model best describes the data. For every constant change of +1 there is a constant ratio of 6. The data appear to be quadratic.

  11. After deciding which model best fits the data, you can write a function. Recall the general forms of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.

  12. Example 6 Use the data in the table to describe how the number of people changes. Then write a function that models the data. Use your function to predict the number of people who received the e-mail after one week. E-mail forwarding

  13. Solve E-mail forwarding Time (Days) Number of People Who Received the E-mail 0 8  7 + 1 1 56  7 + 1 2 392  7 + 1 3 2744 Step 1 Describe the situation in words. Each day, the number of e-mails is multiplied by 7.

  14. Step 2 Write the function. There is a constant ratio of 7. The data appear to be exponential. y = abx Write the general form of an exponential function. y = a(7)x 8 = a(7)0 Choose an ordered pair from the table, such as (0, 8). Substitute for x and y. 8 = a(1) Simplify 70 = 1 8 = a The value of a is 8. y = 8(7)x Substitute 8 for a in y = a(7)x.

  15. Step 3 Predict the e-mails after 1 week. y = 8(7)x Write the function. = 8(7)7 Substitute 7 for x (1 week = 7 days). = 6,588,344 Use a calculator. There will be 6,588,344 e-mails after one week.

  16. Example 7 Use the data in the table to describe how the oven temperature is changing. Then write a function that models the data. Use your function to predict the temperature after 1 hour.

  17. Oven Temperature Time (min) Temperature (°F) 0 375 + 10 – 50 10 325 + 10 – 50 20 275 + 10 – 50 30 225 Solve Step 1 Describe the situation in words. Each 10 minutes, the temperature is reduced by 50 degrees.

  18. Step 2 Write the function. y = mx + b Step 3 Predict the temperature after 1 hour. y = –5x + 375 = -5(1) + 375 Substitute 1 for x. = 380 Simplify The temperature will be 380º.

  19. Try these… Which kind of model best describes each set of data? 1. 2. quadratic exponential

  20. Try these… Part II 3. Use the data in the table to describe how the amount of water is changing. Then write a function that models the data. Use your function to predict the amount of water in the pool after 3 hours. Increasing by 15 gal every 10 min; y = 1.5x + 312; 582 gal
