Recognizing Patterns in Nonlinear Functions

The video tutorial introduces nonlinear functions and explains how to identify their patterns. It contrasts linear and nonlinear functions, highlighting the constant rate of change in linear functions. The tutorial demonstrates finding common differences in sequences and explains how these differences relate to the degree of the function. It covers graphing quadratic and cubic functions, discussing their domains and ranges. The video concludes with an exploration of cubic functions and cube patterns, using a table to illustrate the relationship between the number of blocks per edge and the total number of blocks in a cube.

What are the domain and range of the function y = X^2 as discussed in the lesson?

What is the rule for the relationship between the number of blocks per edge and the total number of blocks in a cube?

How does the graph of a cubic function differ from that of a linear function?
