Which graph represents a non-linear function?
Answer: A U-shaped parabola
A U-shaped parabola represents a quadratic function, which is non-linear because its graph curves rather than forming a straight line.
The range of a function refers to:
Answer: The set of all possible output values
The range is the complete set of possible output values (y-values) that a function can produce.
What is the x-intercept of the function f(x) = 2x − 6?
Answer: 3
Set f(x) = 0: 0 = 2x − 6, so 2x = 6 and x = 3.
If g(x) = 5 for all values of x, what type of function is g?
Answer: Constant
A function that outputs the same value for every input is a constant function; g(x) = 5 always equals 5 regardless of x.
Two functions are defined as f(x) = x + 3 and g(x) = 2x − 1. For what value of x are f(x) and g(x) equal?
Answer: x = 4
Set x + 3 = 2x − 1, then 4 = x, so the functions are equal when x = 4.
A linear function passes through the points (0, 5) and (2, 9). What is the slope?
Answer: 2
Slope = (9 − 5) / (2 − 0) = 4 / 2 = 2.
Which of the following correctly describes function notation f(x)?
Answer: The function f evaluated at input x
f(x) is read 'f of x' and means the value of function f when the input is x; it is not multiplication.
