Question

what is the difference between linear, absolute value, and exponential function? Explain in your own words

Answer 1

You could start off with the differences in the graph

linear equations are always a straight line
absolute value equations are always above the x axis and usually are a v shape
exponential functions are concave up


then you could talk about how it is written as an equation
linear: y=mx+b
absolute value y=|x|
exponential: c^x
