Concept explainers
(a)
To calculate: To find if the table represents a linear or non-linear function
(a)
Answer to Problem 44E
Thetable represents a non-linear function
Explanation of Solution
Given: Table showing the distance car B is from rental store
Time (hours),t | Distance (miles), d |
1 | 60 |
2 | 180 |
3 | 310 |
Formula Used:
Linear functions are polynomials with degree of
Non-linear functions are polynomials with degree of more than
Calculation:
Given table showing the distance car B is from rental store
Time (hours), t | Distance (miles), d |
1 | 60 |
2 | 180 |
3 | 310 |
Slope of function is calculated as
Since slopes are different, thus table represents a non-linear function
Conclusion:
Hence, table represents a non-linear function
(a)
To calculate: To find if given claim is true
(a)
Answer to Problem 44E
Theclaim is correct
Explanation of Solution
Given: Given the linear function
Formula Used:
Linear functions are polynomials with degree of
Non-linear functions are polynomials with degree of more than
Calculation:
Given the linear function
Time (hours), t | Distance (miles), d |
1 | 60 |
2 | 180 |
3 | 310 |
Claim is “Car B is moving at a faster rate”
Rate of car A is calculated from equation
Rate of car B is more than rate of car A
Conclusion:
Hence, yes, claim is correct
