The degree of a polynomial function is the highest power of the variable in its expression. The degree dictates the maximum ...

A function is a rule that is applied to one set of values to give another set of values. A function can be illustrated on a graph – points are plotted as coordinates and joined by either a straight ...

Problem Type 1 typically involves graphing piecewise functions with relatively simple sub-functions, such as linear functions, constants, or simple quadratics. Here’s a structured approach to graph ...

An equation of the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are numbers, gives a straight line when values of \(x\) and corresponding values of \(y\) are plotted on a grid. A straight line is a ...
