Answer:

<h2>The graphed function is nonlinear.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about linear and nolinear funciton, we can distinguish them by using their graphs.

A linear function has a linear behaviour, that means it's representes by a straight line.

A nonlinear function doesn't have a straight line behaviour.

That's the easiest way to distinguish wether is a linear function or nonlinear.

Therefore, in this case, you can observe that the graph is not a straight line, that means the function is nonlinear.

1. PQR and is a right triangle, so you can calculate the measure of PQ by applying the Pythagorean Theorem. PR is the hypotenuse and QR and PQ are the legs:

$PR^{2}=PQ^{2}+QR^{2}\\ PQ=\sqrt{PR^{2}-QR^{2}}\\ PQ=\sqrt{20^{2}-16^{2}} \\ PQ=12$

2. PQS and is a right triangle too, so you can calculate the measure of PS by applying the Pythagorean Theorem as above. PS is the hypotenuse and PQ and QS are the legs:

$PS=\sqrt{PQ^{2}+QS^{2}}=13$
