Day 17 Classifying functions as linear, quadratic or exponential

Introduction It is always important to understand the nature and the structure of functions that we encounter in day to day life. This is necessary so that if a problem behaves like a given function, it becomes easier to solve and interpret the results based on the properties of the function at hand. In this lesson, we are concerned with linear, quadratic and exponential functions only.
