Price of book in 1938 = $ 0.10

Price of book in 2011 = $ 2,161,000

Number of years over 1938-2011 = 2011 - 1938 = 73

Annual increase in the price = ((\frac{\text{Price of book in 2011}}{\text{Price of book in 1938}}) ^ \frac{1}{\text{Number of years}} - 1 ) * 100

⇒ Annual increase in the price = ((\frac{2,161,000}{0.1}) ^ \frac{1}{73} - 1 ) * 100

⇒ Annual increase in the price = (1.260302283  - 1 ) × 100

⇒ Annual increase in the price = 0.260302283 × 100

⇒ Annual increase in the price = 26.0302283 %

⇒ Annual increase in the price = 26%

Hence, the comic book price increased by 26% annually

Which of the following equations is non-linear?
lakkis [162]

2x + 6y = 14y - 19x^2 + 12 is a non-linear equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets define a linear equation first.

A linear equation is an equation in which there is no variable with exponent greater than 1 or the degree of the equation is 1.

So,

<u>x + 12 = -8x + 10 - 2y</u>

The equation is a linear equation because the degree of the equation is 1.

<u>x = 8x + 19 - 10y</u>

The equation is a linear equation because the degree of the equation is 1.

<u>2x + 6y = 14y - 19x^2 + 12</u>

The equation involve a term with exponent 2 which makes the degree of the equation 2 making it a quadratic equation

<u>2x + 13y + 14x - 7 = 16y - 3</u>

The equation is a linear equation because the degree of the equation is 1.

Hence,

2x + 6y = 14y - 19x^2 + 12 is a non-linear equation

Keywords: Linear, quadratic
