1. Problem: Identify the function for the top-left graph.
This is a straight line with positive slope passing through the origin.
Formula: $f(x) = mx + b$
Since it passes through origin, $b=0$.
Slope $m = \frac{4 - (-3)}{4 - (-3)} = \frac{7}{7} = 1$.
Answer: $f(x) = x$
2. Problem: Identify the function for the top-center graph.
This is a parabola opening upward with vertex near (0,1).
Formula: $f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k$
Vertex $(h,k) = (0,1)$.
Since it opens upward and passes through (0,1), $a > 0$.
Assuming $a=1$ for simplicity.
Answer: $f(x) = x^2 + 1$
3. Problem: Identify the function for the top-right graph.
This is a cubic-like curve passing through origin with inflection near origin.
Formula: $f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d$
Since passes through origin, $d=0$.
Assuming simplest cubic: $f(x) = x^3$
Answer: $f(x) = x^3$
4. Problem: Identify the function for the middle-left graph.
Two branches of hyperbola-like curve approaching 0 at large $x$ and dropping steeply near $x=0$.
Formula: $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$
Answer: $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$
5. Problem: Identify the function for the middle-center graph.
Square root-like curve starting near (0,0) increasing slowly then faster.
Formula: $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$
Answer: $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$
6. Problem: Identify the function for the middle-right graph.
Exponential-like increasing curve starting near $y=0$ for negative $x$ and rising rapidly for positive $x$.
Formula: $f(x) = a^x$, $a>1$
Assuming $a=2$.
Answer: $f(x) = 2^x$
7. Problem: Identify the function for the bottom-left graph.
Logarithmic-like curve increasing slowly, approaching -3 near $x=-1$.
Formula: $f(x) = \log_b(x + c) + d$
Assuming $f(x) = \log(x + 1)$ shifted down 3 units.
Answer: $f(x) = \log(x + 1) - 3$
8. Problem: Identify the function for the bottom-center graph.
Waveform oscillating between -2 and 2 on $x \in [-5,5]$.
Formula: $f(x) = 2\sin(x)$
Answer: $f(x) = 2\sin(x)$
9. Problem: Identify the function for the bottom-right graph.
Another waveform oscillating between -2 and 2.
Formula: $f(x) = 2\cos(x)$
Answer: $f(x) = 2\cos(x)$
10. Problem: Identify the function for the bottom-left (last row).
V-shaped absolute value function crossing origin.
Formula: $f(x) = |x|$
Answer: $f(x) = |x|$
11. Problem: Identify the function for the bottom-center (last row).
Step function with filled and open circles at discrete points.
This is a floor or stepwise function.
Answer: $f(x) = \text{step function defined by given points}$
12. Problem: Identify the function for the bottom-right (last row).
Sigmoid or logistic function increasing from near 0 at $x=-3$ to near 1 at $x=3$.
Formula: $f(x) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-x}}$
Answer: $f(x) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-x}}$
