1) A linear function is a line with the equation f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope determines if the function increases, decreases, or is constant.
2) A quadratic function is a parabolic curve with the general form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 0. The parabola can open upward or downward.
3) A polynomial function can be expressed as f(x) = anxn + ... + a1x + a0, where each term is a coefficient times a variable raised to a power. The graph will touch or cross the x-axis depending on whether zeros

A linear function is a function whose graph is a line. It can be written in
the slope-intercept form of a line, f(x) = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the intercept. Properties: • Only linear function has an average constant rate of change. • The slope determines if the function is an increasing linear function, a decreasing linear function, or a constant function. f(x) = mx + b is an increasing function if m > 0. f(x) = mx + b is a decreasing function if m < 0. f(x) = mx + b is a constant function if m = 0 Quadratic Function A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree two. The general form of a quadratic function is f(x) = ax2 + bx + c where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0 and the standard form of a quadratic function is f(x) = a(x − h)2 + k where a ≠ 0 Properties: • Quadratic equation is a second-degree polynomial function. • The graph of a quadratic function is a U-shaped curve called a parabola that either opens upward or downward. • The vertex is the lowest point or minimum value when the parabola opens upwards, while the vertex is the highest point or maximum value when the parabola opens downward. • The domain of a quadratic function is all real numbers. Polynomial Function A polynomial function is a function that can be expressed in the form of a polynomial. The general form is - f(x) = anxn + .... a2x2 + a1x + a0 where each ai is a coefficient and can be any real number other than zero. For each expression, aixi is a term of a polynomial function. Properties: • A polynomial function consists of either zero or the sum of a finite number of non-zero terms, each of which is a product of a number, called the coefficient of the term, and a variable raised to a non- negative integer power. • The graph of a polynomial function will touch the x-axis at zeros with even multiplicities. The graph will cross the x-axis at zeros with odd multiplicities. Inverse Function The inverse function is a function obtained by reversing the given function. Two functions, f and g, are inverses of one another if for all x in the domain of f and g. g(f(x)) = f(g(x)) = x Properties: • The coordinate pairs of the inverse functions have the input and output interchanged. • Only one-to-one functions have inverses. • If the graphs of both functions are symmetric with respect to the line y = x, then we say that the two functions are inverses of each other.
