Answer:

Nonlinear function

Step-by-step explanation:

To know - linear vs nonlinear

[] A linear function is a straight line. Examples such as y=3x + 3 or y= -4x + 1

[] A nonlinear function is not a straight line. This is usually because it contains exponents.

[] Since the function has a square root, and there are two answers for each square root problem, this is not a linear function.

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

Answer:

It is a nonlinear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the numbers and variables actually don't create a straight line, so it is a nonlinear function.

hope this helps.

Type the correct answer in the box. Round off your answer to the nearest integer.

Mkey [24]

Answer:

∠ p ≈ 59°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in right triangle ABD to find DB

DB² = 5² + 6² = 25 + 36 = 61 ( take square root of both sides )

DB = $\sqrt{61}$

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

Using the cosine ratio in right triangle DBC

cos p = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{DC}{DB}$ = $\frac{4}{\sqrt{61} }$ , thus

p = $cos^{-1}$ ( $\frac{4}{\sqrt{61} }$ ) ≈ 59°

Solve for the values of x in the equation: 2^(x) = 4x.

Eva8 [605]

There are two of them.

I don't know a mechanical way to 'solve' for them.

One can be found by trial and error:

x=0 . . . . . 2^0 = 1 . . . . . 4(0) = 0 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=1 . . . . . 2^1 = 2 . . . . . 4(1) = 4 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=2 . . . . . 2^2 = 4 . . . . . 4(2) = 8 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=3 . . . . . 2^3 = 8 . . . . . 4(3) = 12 . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=4 . . . . . 2^4 = 16 . . . . 4(4) = 16 . . . . Yes ! That works ! yay !

For the other one, I constructed tables of values for 2^x and (4x)
in a spread sheet, then graphed them, and looked for the point
where the graphs of the two expressions cross.

The point is near, but not exactly, x = 0.30990693...

If there's a way to find an analytical expression for the value, it must involve
some esoteric kind of math operations that I didn't learn in high school or
engineering school, and which has thus far eluded me during my lengthy
residency in the college of hard knocks. If anybody out there has it, I'm
waiting with all ears.
