4-3 Patterns and Nonlinear Functions Objective: identify and represent patterns that describe nonlinear functions.
4-3 Patterns and Nonlinear Functions • Getting Ready p. 246 http://pearsonsuccessnet.com/
4-3 Patterns and Nonlinear Functions • The relationship in the Solve it is an example of a nonlinear relationship. • Remember a linear fn is a fn whose graph is a nonvertical line. • P. 246 shows examples.
4-3 Patterns and Nonlinear Functions • Nonlinearfn is a fn whose graph is not a line or part of a line.
4-3 Patterns and Nonlinear Functions • Basically look at graph and see it a straight line only: linear • or nonlinear: curve change of direction.
4-3 Patterns and Nonlinear Functions • Example 2: The table show the total number of blocks in each figure as a function of the number of blocks on one edge. P. 248 • Complete the table: Represent relationship with words, equation and graph
4-3 Patterns and Nonlinear Functions • Example 3: Writing a rule to describe a nonlinear fn: • The ordered pairs • (1,2), (2,4), (3,8), (4, 16), (5, 32) • Write a rule that works for all the ordered • pairs when you substitute in x • you get the y.
