Concept explainers
a.
To find:whether the given graph represent a linear or a nonlinear function
a.
Answer to Problem 9MCQ
Nonlinear function
Explanation of Solution
Given information:the graph of a function is given as follows
Graphs that are perfectly straight lines represents a linear function.
However, nonlinear functions have graphs that do form a straight line or a part of straight line or the graph is a curve.
Consider the following graph
Here, the graph is a curve and not a straight line. So, the graph denotes a nonlinear function.
b.

Answer to Problem 9MCQ
Nonlinear function
Explanation of Solution
Given information: the graph of a function is given as follows
Graphs that are perfectly straight lines represents a linear function.
However, nonlinear functions have graphs that do form a straight line or a part of straight line or the graph is a curve.
As the graph does not form a part of a straight line, the graph denotes a nonlinear function.
