Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question

Transcribed Image Text:The following four equations represent the growth rates of different towns.
PA = 1019e0.04031
Pg = 839e-0.0159t

(c) List the letters for all towns that are decreasing in size:
(For example, you might enter "A C" (WITHOUT THE
QUOTES).)
(d) List the letters for all towns that are increasing in size:
(For example, you might enter "A C" (WITHOUT THE
QUOTES).)
