Holt Algebra Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models Warm Up 1. Find the slope and y-intercept of the line that passes through (4, 20) and (20, 24). The population of a town is decreasing at a rate of 1.8% per year. In 1990, there were 4600 people. 2. Write an exponential decay function to model this situation. 3. Find the population in y = 4600(0.982) t 3199

Holt Algebra Transforming Quadratic Functions Compare the graph of f(x) = x 2 to the graph of g(x) = –x 2 – 4 The graph of g(x) = -x is the same width as the graph of f(x) = x 2. The graph of g(x) = -x opens downward.

Holt Algebra Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models Compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models. Given a set of data, decide which type of function models the data and write an equation to describe the function. Objectives

Holt Algebra Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models After deciding which model best fits the data, you can write a function. Recall the general forms of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.

Holt Algebra Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models 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 after one week. Time (Days)Number of People Who Received the forwarding

Holt Algebra Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models When the independent variable changes by a constant amount, linear functions have constant first differences. quadratic functions have constant second differences. exponential functions have a constant ratio. Remember! HW pp /8-19,23-29,32-40
