1. Classify the function as a linear, quadratic, or exponential

f(x)= (x-2)(x+8)

f(x)=x^2 - 4 (the x is squared)

f(x)=8x +1

What are the definitions of the three function types? What is the form of a linear, straight line function, the shape of a quadratic function, and the behavior of an exponential function?

Where are you stuck? Please be complete. Thank you!
