Exercise 8 Page 128

In what form must you be able to write all linear functions?

Nonlinear function.

Practice makes perfect
All linear functions must be able to be written in slope-intercept form. y=mx+b Let's solve the given equation for y to see if it can be written in this form.
y=x(2-x)
y=2x - x^2
Since there is a term with the variable x squared, we cannot write the function in slope-intercept form. Therefore, this function is nonlinear.
