Exercise 8 Page 439

a Notice that the format of the given function resembles that of the vertex form of a quadratic function.
By rewriting our function a bit, we can confirm that it is given in this form indeed.
Therefore, this is a quadratic function.
b Notice that the format of the given function resembles that of an exponential function.
By direct comparison, we can confirm that it is given in this form indeed.
Therefore, this is an exponential function.
c Notice that the format of the given function resembles that of the slope-intercept form of a linear function.
By direct comparison, we can confirm that it is given in this form indeed.
Therefore, this is a linear function.
d Notice that the format of the given function resembles that of an exponential function.
By direct comparison, we can confirm that it is an exponential function indeed. The only difference is that it has been .
