Graph created with Desmos.com. Nonlinear Function vs. Linear Function: Steps In order to figure out if your function is linear or nonlinear, you have several options. From easiest to hardest, they are: Study the equation. If it neatly fits the equation y = mx + b, then it’s linear....
To put this another way, every function in a family is a transformation of a parent function. For example, the function f(x) = 2x is the linear parent function vertically stretched by a factor of 2; Instead of the function passing through (1, 1) the graph passes through (2, 1): Co...
Graphing calculators first came into existence in the 1980s. Today, you can now enjoy the same features and functionalities by simply using an online math problem solver. Many web-based graphing calculators allow students to graph complex equations in a single click. More impressively, however, yo...
Calling a non-major’s introductory computing course “CS0” is making the assumption that it’s the starting point for a sequence that goes on to CS1 and so on. Mastery learning is a good idea, but only when the skills to be mastered are appropriate for the student. Asking non-CS ...
The digital SAT's built-in Desmos calculator is a powerful tool for the test. You can use it to perform complex arithmetic, quickly complete multi-step calculations, and even graph systems of equations. However, not every question requires this tool.Learning to solve questions without the use ...
(x) = 4x2+ 2, shown on the above graph, is completely above the x-axis, which means it is a positive function. However, notice that it is only increasing for function values on the right-hand side of the vertical axis; the function is decreasing for values to the left of the y-...
Anabsolute value functionhas a unique “V” shape when plotted on a graph. This is due to the fact that the absolute value of a negative number makes that number positive. The absolute value parent function. The absolute value parent function is written as: f(x) = │x│ where: ...
That number, 9, is the limit for this function at x = 5. If you take a look at the graph of f(x) = x + 4, you’ll see that all of the numbers surrounding x = 5 (for example, 4.9, 4.999 or 5.1) all get close to (i.e. approach) the limit of 9. Another way of thi...
