Answer:

Read the explanation please :)

Explanation:

Okay, to make this easier, I will be counting from 1-8 from the top left to bottom right.

1. Linear

2.Linear

3. Not a function

4. Exponential

5. Exponential

6. Quadratic Function

7. Absolute Value

8. Quadratic Function

For starters, the basic of a function is that for every input there is it's own [nonrepeating] output.

In mathematics, the term linear function refers to two distinct but related notions. We usually describe this as y=mx+b.

Exponential functions are a function of the form {f(x)=ab^{x}} where b is a positive real number, and the argument x occurs as an exponent.

Quadratic function, a quadratic polynomial, a polynomial of degree 2, or simply a quadratic numeral.

An absolute value function contains an algebraic expression within absolute value symbols (the value of a number is its distance from 0 on the number line.) To graph an absolute value function, choose several values of x and find some ordered pairs.

Functions -as stated before have one output for every input. They cannot repeat the same output as the horizontal line would.

Hope this helps mate.
