When comparing the key characteristics of functions we need to identify the rate of change and y-intercept of each function. To find the rate of change we must use the slope formula:. Choose two points from the table or graph and substitute values into the slope formula.

When comparing the key characteristics of functions we need to identify the rate of change and y-intercept of each function. To find the rate of change we must use the slope formula: Choose two points from the table or graph and substitute values into the slope formula. The y-intercept is the coordinate in the form of (0, y) or the coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
Identify the rate of change and y-intercept for the function f(x). (0, 8) (4, 0) Use points _______and________ = =
Identify the rate of change and y-intercept for the function g(x). = = From the table the y-intercept is where the x-value is zero which is the point the point ________. (0, -6)
The rate of change for the first function is ______ and the ate of change for the second function is _______. -2 2 The first function is _____________, while the second is ____________. Although the rates of change are the same. decreasing increasing The y-intercept for the first function is _____ and y-intercept for the second function is _______. 8 -6 The second function crosses the y-axis at a __________ point. lower
Identify the rate of change and y-intercept of the first function. Identify the rate of change and y-intercept of the second function. Use the points (0, 200) and (500, 300). = The y-intercept is 200.
The y-intercepts of both functions is __________. (0, 850)
Calculate the rate of change for each function over [0, 16] Function A: Use ordered pairs ________and__________. (0, 850) (16, 1600) = = (16, 1480.88) (0, 850) Function B: Use ordered pairs ________and____________. = = The y-intercepts of both functions are the same; however, the graphed function, f(x), has a greater rate of change over the interval [0, 16].
A Petri dish contains 8 bacteria that double every 15 minutes. Compare the properties of the function that represents this situation to another population of bacteria, graphed below, that starts with 8 organisms over the interval [150, 210]. The equation we will use for the first function is: The initial population or y-intercepts of both functions is _______. 8
Calculate the rate of change for each function over [150, 210] (150, 275) (210, 1000) From the graph: Use ordered pairs ___________and__________. = Function B: Determine the value for y when x is 150 and 210. (150, 8192) (210, 131072) Use ordered pairs ____________and________________. = =
The y-intercepts of both functions are the same; however, the graphed function is less steep over the interval [150, 210]. The bacteria in the graphed function are doubling at a slower rate than the first function described.
