To determine

To calculate: Whether the given function is linear or non-linear. If it linear, then we have to determine the equation of the line.

Answer to Problem 22AYU

Solution:

The given function is non-linear.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given function is

x y = f(x)
2 ¼
1 ½
0 1
1 2
2 4

Formula used:

A function is said to be linear, if it has a constant average rate of change otherwise the function is non-linear.

The formula for finding the average rate of change is

Avg= f( x 2 )  f( x 1 ) x 2     x 1

We know that the average rate of change of a linear function is the slope of that function.

Therefore, we can find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula.

Thus, we get

y   y 1  = m(x   x 1 )

Calculation:

Now, we have to find the average rate of change.

The rate of change between the first and the second row is

Avg =  1 2    1 4  1 (2)

=  2  1 4 1  (2)

=  1 4 1  (2)  =  1 4

The rate of change between the second and the third row is

Avg= 1 1 2 0(1)

= 1 2 0(1) = 1 2

Here, we can see that the rate of change of the given function differs.

Therefore, the average rate of change is not a constant.

Thus, the given function is non-linear.
