Question

I need help comparing and contrasting f(x)=2x and f(x)=xsquared. I need at least 3 differences and 3 similarities.

Answer 1

one difference is that f(x)=2x is linear, meaing it is a line. While f(x)-x^2 is a parabola.

Answer 2

2x is the first derivative of x^2

Answer 3

2x has a constant coefficient, x^2 does not.

Answer 4

they are both functions of x

Answer 5

both are typically graphed using a cartesian coordinate system

Answer 6

both are monomial functions
