Answer:

Non-linear: y=x^(2)+3x-17

Linear: y= 8x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic, exponential, and square root functions are all non-linear. They should not be straight. There is always an x and/or y value that they will never be on. Linear functions can touch all values. That sounds very confusing, but it's better than nothing, so I'm sorry.

I don't know a better way to explain it.

Linear functions have a constant slope, so nonlinear functions have a slope that varies between points. Algebraically, linear functions are polynomials with highest exponent equal to 1 or of the form y = c where c is constant. Nonlinear functions are all other functions. An example of a nonlinear function is y = x^2.

Given $a_7=125$ you can find a_6:

$a_6= \frac{125-3}{2} =61$
$a_5= \frac{61-3}{2} =29 \\ a_4= \frac{29-3}{2}=13 \\ a_3= \frac{13-3}{2} =5 \\ a_2= \frac{5-3}{2} =1 \\ a_1= \frac{1-3}{2}=-1$

PLEASE HELP- A triangle has vertices A(0, 0), B (9, 4), and C(–2, 10). What are the coordinates of the triangle after a dilation

butalik [34]

Basically multiply the x and y coordinates of each point by 1/2

For example, I'll do C which is ( -2 , 10 )

-2 * 1/2 = -1 and 1/2 * 10 = 5

The new coordinate is ( -1 , 5 )

Now you can try the other points
