Rewrite the parabola in standard form and use this formula to find the vertex (h,k).
= (2,-1)
= (2,-1)
Use average rates of change to determine if the function in the table is Linear or Non-linear.
1 answer:
We have been given a table of values of a function. We are asked to determine whether the given function is linear or nonlinear.
We know that a function is linear when its rate of change (slope) is constant.
Let us find slope for each of the given points using slope formula.
Similarly, we will find the slopes using other given coordinates.
Since the rate of change for each set of points is , so the rate of change is constant.
Therefore, the given function is linear.

in plain and short, to graph an inequality, we first graph its EQUALITY graph, and then we do the shading.
so to graph y > x + 3, we first graph y = x + 3, which is just a line, and then do a true/false check on a point to see which side we shade.
let's hmmm check the point say (0,2), x = 0, y = 2.
y > x + 3
2 > 0 + 3
2 > 3 <--- is that true? is 2 really larger than 3? nope, so is false.
that simply means that the point (0, 2) is on the false area, so that's the area we do NOT shade, so <u>we shade the other side</u>.
y > x + 3, means "y" is greater than or larger than that line, but not equals, larger not equal, meaning the values on the borderline are not included, so the line is a dashed line.
check the picture below.
