Plotting non-linear graphs Flashcards
1
Q
Exponential graphs
A
y = a to the power of x
2
Q
Quadratic graphs
A
General form: y = ax2 + x + c
a ≠ 0
Where a can’t be 0
a<0
a>0
3
Q
≠
A
Means not equal to
4
Q
Cubic graphs
A
General form: y = ax3 + bx2 +cx + d
Where a ≠ 0
a>0
5
Q
Reciprocal graphs
A
y = 1/x
The graph never crosses either of the axes. We call the lines x = 0 and y = 0 asymptotes of the graph.
6
Q
asymptotes
A
a line that never gets crossed
