How can I tell if something is linear or nonlinear?

Mathematics

Linear growth means that the y value increases by the same amount for each increase in the x value.

Example:

y=2x

y increases by 2 for every increase in x.

This will be a straight line when graphed.

Counter-example:

y=x^2

y increases by a different amount for each increase in x.

This will be a curved line when graphed.

Answer:

When something is linear it will meet the criteria, on a graph it will be a straight line, it won't have any curves in it.

When something is nonlinear it doesn't fit the criteria, on a graph it will be curved, never straight

Hope this helps ;)

Terry and Callie do word processing. For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can. If they wor
Dahasolnce [82]

Time taken by jerry alone is 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone is 8.1 hours

<u>Solution:</u>

Given:- For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can

Let the time taken by Terry be "a" hours

So, the time taken by Callie will be (a-2) hours

Hence, the efficiency of Callie and Terry per hour is \frac{1}{a-2} \text { and } \frac{1}{a} \text { respectively }

If they work together they can do the entire prospectus in five hours

\text {So, } \frac{1}{a-2}+\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{5}

On cross-multiplication we get,

\frac{a+(a-2)}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}

\frac{2 a-2}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}

On cross multiplication ,we get

\begin{array}{l}{5 \times(2 a-2)=a \times(a-2)} \\\\ {10 a-10=a^{2}-2 a} \\\\ {a^{2}-2 a-10 a+10=0} \\\\ {a^{2}-12 a+10=0}\end{array}

<em><u>using quadratic formula:-</u></em>

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}

\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{104}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm 2 \sqrt{26}}{2}} \\\\ {x=6 \pm \sqrt{26}=6 \pm 5.1} \\\\ {x=10.1 \text { or } x=0.9}\end{array}

If we take a = 0.9, then while calculating time taken by callie = a - 2 we will end up in negative value

Let us take a = 10.1

So time taken by jerry alone = a = 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone = a - 2 = 10.1 - 2 = 8.1 hours

If f(x)=2x^2+(1000/x), find the average rate of change of f(x) from x=a to x=a+h.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

\frac{\frac{1000}{x+h}-\frac{1000}{x}}{h} is your average rate of change,

Step-by-step explanation:

average rate of change is

\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{a+h-a}, by slope formula

simplify this to get \frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}, which is the definition of the derivative as h goes to 0

\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}

since you defined x=a, we can substitute a for x and vice versa to find our derivative.

\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(2x^2+\frac{1000}{x+h})-(2x^2+\frac{1000}{x})}{h}

simplifying

\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{1000}{x+h}-\frac{1000}{x}}{h} (your average rate of change)
