Front

What is a nonlinear function?

Back

A nonlinear function is a function that does not form a straight line when graphed. Its rate of change is not constant, and it can take various forms such as quadratic, exponential, or logarithmic.

How can you determine if a table represents a linear function?

Back

A table represents a linear function if the differences between consecutive outputs (y-values) are constant for equal intervals of inputs (x-values).

Front

What is the slope of a linear function?

Back

The slope of a linear function is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run).

Front

What does it mean for a relation to be a function?

Back

A relation is a function if each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value).

How can you identify a nonlinear graph?

Back

A nonlinear graph will show curves, bends, or changes in direction, indicating that the relationship between x and y is not constant.
