Linear functions have no exponents higher than 1, and a graph that looks like a straight line. non-linear functions have at least one exponent higher than 1, and a graph that isn't a straight line
When you get to the point where the width is larger than the length, you can stop because you have exhausted all the possibilities. The greatest area will be the rectangle that is closer in to a square than any of the others.
Answer:
x+y/4 = 1/2
x-3y/3 = 2
move variables to one side:
multiply the first equation by 4 to get: x+y =2
and the second equation by 3 to get: x-3y =6
then subtract the equations to cancel out x:
x+y = 2
- x-3y = 6
then u get
y--3y = 2-6
4y = -4
y=-1
substitute to solve for x:
x-1 / 4 =1/2
x-1 = 2
x=3
check:
3+-1
2/4= 1/2
correct!!!
