Function Examples
1. **Linear functions:**
These are of the form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
Examples:
1) $y = 2x + 3$
2) $y = -x + 1$
2. **Quadratic functions:**
These are of the form $y = ax^2 + bx + c$.
Examples:
1) $y = x^2 - 4x + 4$
2) $y = -2x^2 + 3x - 1$
3. **Absolute value functions:**
These are of the form $y = a|bx + c| + d$.
Examples:
1) $y = |x - 1|$
2) $y = 3|2x + 5| - 4$
4. **Piecewise functions:**
Functions defined by different expressions over different intervals.
Examples:
1) $y = \begin{cases} x + 2 & x \leq 0 \\ -x + 2 & x > 0 \end{cases}$
2) $y = \begin{cases} x^2 & x < 1 \\ 3x - 1 & x \geq 1 \end{cases}$
5. **Cubic functions:**
These have the form $y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d$.
Examples:
1) $y = x^3 - 3x^2 + 2$
2) $y = -2x^3 + x + 1$
