What is the general shape of a variation function?
Q. When you are using regressions, you need to know the general shape of the function. What is the general shape and how can you tell the difference between a variation function and an exponential function?
Asked by candydot585 - Sun Apr 1 22:24:20 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A direct variation function has a straight line for its graph, passing through the origin. An inverse variation has a hyperbola for its graph. Exponential function graphs assuming no translations pass through (0,1) since anything to the 0 power is 1. They either start low and curve higher or start high and curve lower
