Which statement best explains whether the table represents a linear or nonlinear function?

Answer: A.) It is a linear function because there is a constant rate of change in both the input and output values.

============================================================

Explanation:

Note how x is decreasing by 3 each time

  • -2-3 = -5
  • -5-3 = -8
  • -8-3 = -11

At the same time, y is also decreasing by 3 each time

  • 7-3 = 4
  • 4-3 = 1
  • 1-3 = -2

This means we have a linear function. We have,

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

slope = (-3)/(-3)

slope = 1

Recall that slope is another term for rate of change, so a constant slope means we have a constant rate of change.

----------------

Another way to find the slope is to pick any two points from the table and use the slope formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

You should find that any two points you pick will lead to a slope of 1. I recommend you try out all possible pairs to help convince yourself the slope is 1.

TEA [102]

Answer:

AC = 14 cosec(68)

Explanation:

Here given:

  • angle: 68°
  • opposite: 14 ft
  • hypotenuse: AC

Use sine rule:

\rightarrow \sf sin(x) = \dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

\rightarrow \sf sin(68) = \dfrac{14}{AC}

\rightarrow \sf AC= \dfrac{14}{ sin(68) }

\rightarrow \sf AC= 14  \ cosec(68)
