What is the y-intercept of the function f(x) = 4x − 9?
Answer: −9
The y-intercept is the value of b in f(x) = mx + b; here b = −9, confirmed by evaluating f(0) = 4(0) − 9 = −9.
Which equation models exponential growth?
Answer: y = 2^x
y = 2^x is exponential because the variable x appears as an exponent, causing the output to double with each unit increase in x.
If f(x) = x² + 2, what is f(−3)?
Answer: 11
f(−3) = (−3)² + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11.
Which statement best describes the rate of change of a linear function?
Answer: It is constant
Linear functions have a constant rate of change (slope), which is the defining characteristic that distinguishes them from non-linear functions.
A function has the equation y = 3x. If x doubles, what happens to y?
Answer: y doubles
Since y = 3x, if x becomes 2x then y = 3(2x) = 2(3x), so y also doubles.
What does the domain of a function represent?
Answer: All possible input values
The domain is the complete set of possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
Which of the following functions has the greatest rate of change (steepest slope)?
Answer: f(x) = −4x + 2
The rate of change is the absolute value of the slope; |−4| = 4 is the greatest among 1, 3, 4, and 2.
