Lesson 12-1Linear and Nonlinear Functionspp. 560-563 Vocabulary to Watch for in this Lesson Nonlinear function EQ: How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear?
You’ve already learned that linear functions have graphs that are straight lines. • These graphs represent constant rates of change. • Nonlinear functions do not have constant rates of change. • So, their graphs are not straight lines. EQ: How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear?
Examples: Identify Functions Using GraphsDetermine whether each graph represents a linear or nonlinear function. Explain. EQ: How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear?
Examples: Identifying Functions Using EquationsDetermine whether each equation represents a linear or nonlinear function. Explain. Since the equation for a linear function can be written in the form y = mx+b, where m is the constant rate of change or slope, you can figure out whether a function is linear by looking at its equation. EQ: How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear?
A nonlinear function odes not increase or decrease at the same rate. • You can use a table to determine if the rate of change is constant. EQ: How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear?
Examples: Identify Functions Using TablesDetermine whether each table represents a linear or nonlinear function. Explain. EQ: How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear?
EQ: How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear?
Your Turn: Determine whether each equation or table represents a linear or nonlinear function. Explain. EQ: How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear?
