Step 1: Graph the Area (using Desmos): This confirms that we are dealing with a negative area under the x-axis. In other to get a positive value we have to put a negative sign in front of the integral: In other words, you’re taking the negative of the integral solution (a negativ...
So by definition, nonlinear functions produce graphs that aren’t a straight line. Linear function (red) and two nonlinear functions: exponential (blue) and polynomial (green). Graph created with Desmos.com. Nonlinear Function vs. Linear Function: Steps In order to figure out if your function ...
