Cubic functions (y=x^3) go up on one side and down on the other
Trigenometric functions ( y=3sin (2x ) ) look like cycles
Exponential functions can either be growth or decay
Growth would mean it goes up positively and decay would mean it goes down negatively
Exponential functions have a few defining features
- Asymptote
-
Sine functions
Sine functions always go throught the 0,0 intercept
You can tell a function is a polynomial by ...
- The domain is any real number
- A smooth and unbroken curve
cosine functions
Cosine functions can never touch the 0,0 intercepts, like the sine functions do.
Linear functions are straight lines that have no curve, only a slope, Y intercept and X intercept.
