Reflect on the concept of lines and quadratic functions. What concepts (only the names)
did you need to accommodate the concept of lines and quadratic functions in your
mind? What are the simplest line and quadratic function you can imagine? In your day
to day, is there any occurring fact that can be interpreted as lines and quadratic
functions? What strategy are you using to get the graph of lines and quadratic
functions?
Yang Alcoer (n.d.) stated that “a linear function is any function that graphs to a straight line”.
What this implies numerically is that the function has either one or two factors with no
exponents or powers. In the event that the function has more factors, the factors must be
constants or known factors for the function to stay a straight function. As I reflect on the
concept of lines and quadratic functions the concepts that I needed to accommodate the
concept of lines were standard form, intercept form, slope, parallel, perpendicular or neither,
intersecting point, and intercept. Each of these concepts came to mind which are a part of and
related to the concepts of lines. There are several line function that I could have considered,
however, the simplest one that came to mind was y=3x+5. In real life, anything with constant
growth can be called or modelled by line. One occurring fact in my day to day that can be
interpreted as a line function would be paying a taxi fare. Usually, the charges are $0.25 per
km with base fees of $2 and this can be expressed as y = 0.25x + 25. The strategies that I am
using to get the graph of lines function are the intercept form, slope, plotting points, and then
drawing a line through the points and sometimes the transformation. However, I mostly use
the y-intercept and slope.
In polynomial math, quadratic functions are any form of the equation y = ax2 + bx + c, where
a isn't equal to 0, which can be utilized to unravel complex math equations that endeavour to
assess lost factors within the equation by plotting them on a u-shaped figure called a
parabola. The graphs of quadratic functions are parabolas; they tend to look like a grin or a
