Exercise 5 Page 296

What is the exponent of the x-variable?

Nonlinear, see solution.

Practice makes perfect
Without graphing, we want to determine whether the given equation represents a linear or nonlinear function.

y=1-x^2 We can see that the exponent of the x-variable is 2. Therefore, the equation represents a quadratic function. This means that the function is nonlinear.
