Linear function definition: a function that will create a straight line when graphed.
11 is not a linear function (not a straight line), but 12 is.
For the tables, you can either plot out the graph or just look at the number patterns. A linear function's numbers will always increase/decrease accordingly at a constant rate. For example, in 14, you notice that as x increases by 1, y decreases by 2. This means it is a linear graph.
In 13, as x increases by 1, the output y increases but at a different rate each time. It increased by 3 at first, then 5, then 7. Hence, it is not a linear function. What is it then? It is an exponential function.
Research scientists use a standard practice called the _____ method to help them understand phenomena.
(132 min)/(12 mi) = (t)/(66 mi)
t = (66 mi)*(132 min)/(12 mi) = 726 min
It will take the bicyclist 726 minutes to travel 66 miles.
Hello!
In this formula, C represents the circumference, as pi and r, the radius are in the equation. 2r is also equal to the diameter.
The answer is the circumference.
Hope this helps!
