Exercise 134 Page 437

Practice makes perfect
We are given the following table.
Table

We want to determine if the type of growth in the table is linear or non-linear. We can do this by checking if the y-values increase at a constant rate.

Table

Notice that as the value of x increases by 1, the value of y does not increase at a consistent rate. This means that the growth is non-linear.

Let's consider the given table.
Table

We are asked to figure out if the type of growth in the table is linear or non-linear. Like in Part A, let's do this by checking if the y-values increase at a constant rate.

Table

As the value of x increases by 1, the value of y increases by 2. This means that the y-values increase at a constant rate and the growth is linear.

We want to determine if the type of growth in the given table is linear or non-linear.
Table

Again, we can do this by checking if the y-values increase at a constant rate.

Table

Notice that as the value of x increases by 1, the value of y does not increase at a consistent rate. This means that the growth is non-linear.
