What’s The definition of linear and nonlinear in Math

Mathematics

Answer:

Functions can be classified in two different categories: linear or nonlinear. A simple way to know differentiate between the two is to look at the output values when plugging in a number for an unknown variable. If the output values have a difference that is constant, then the function will be classified as a linear equation; however, if the outputs do not have a constant difference then it will be classified as a nonlinear equation.

Another easy way to determine which of these functions you are dealing with is to graph it. By graphing these functions, you can tell if the line is straight or not. When graphed, a linear equation will have a straight line that has a constant slope. In contrast to this, a nonlinear equation will have a graph that does not have a straight line and, depending on the function, can have many different appearances including a U-shape or an S-shape.

Rational numbers with distribute property

Svetradugi [14.3K]

I'm not sure what this means. If you have choices you should list them.

(1/2)*(1/4 + 1/6) is an example of what should be given. There are two ways to solve this.

1. Use the distributive property.

1/2*1/4 + 1/2* 1/6

1/8 + 1/12 Which can be added using the LCD of 24

3/24 + 2/24 = 5/24

Method 2

Add what is inside the brackets first.

1/2 ( 1/4 + 1/6)

1/2(3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12

Now multiply by 1/2

1/2(5/12) = 5*1/(12 * 2) = 5 / 24 Same answer.

Luis said that when his dog was born, she had a mass of 370 grams and that when fully grown, his dog had a mass of 37 kilograms.

yanalaym [24]

I do not agree. This is because when the dog was a puppy, she was 370 grams not kilograms. Diego's mistake was mistaking grams for kilograms.

50 points for answer.

noname [10]

Answer:

Point C: (4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelograms are quadrilaterals with two pairs of parallel sides, this means they will have the same slope between two line segments.

point slope form between two points: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

point A (2, 6) and D (4,4):

slope: point form, 6 - 4 = m(2 - 4)

2 = -2m

m (slope) = $\frac {2}{-2}$ = $\frac {Change in X position}{ Change in Y position}$

now that you know the change in position, apply this to vertice B to get the position of the final vertice.

B(2, 2)

C (2 +2, 2-2) = C(4, 0)

The final position of C vertice for parrallelogram A(2,6), B(2,2), D(4,4) will be C(4,0)
