This document defines and provides examples of algebraic functions. It explains that algebraic functions involve algebraic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on variables and constants. It also discusses linear algebraic functions, which can be represented by a straight line on the Cartesian plane in the form of f(x)=mx+b. The document provides examples of linear functions using tables, graphs, and solving linear equations for y. It compares linear and quadratic functions, noting that while linear functions can be written as fractions, quadratic functions involve squared variables and are not linear.
What are Algebraic
Functions?
Afunction that involves only
algebraic operations, like,
addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division as
well as fractional or rational
exponents.
y= is now f(x)=
Is This aLinear
Function?
14x-28y=7 solve for y
-14x from both sides
-28y=-14x+7
/-28 on both sides
y=(1/2)x-(1/4)
Yes! Fractions can be constants!
