What is unique about the linear function?

Each variable has an exponent equal to one.


What is a nonlinear relationship?

In mathematics, when the dependent variable is not proportional to the independent variable. The function does not vary directly with the input. Example: y=sin (x).


What one thing in this function tells you it will be nonlinear?

The presence of any term that is not a constant or a multiple of the independent variable. It can be any other power of that variable, or a trigonometric or exponential or any other function.


What is meaning of exponent with variable?

That you have an exponential function. These functions are typical for certain practical problems, such as population growth, or radioactive decay (with a negative exponent in this case).


How can you determine if a function is a quadratic function from its equation?

If the highest exponent of independent variable(say x) is 2 and the highest exponent of dependent variable(say y) is 1 and x and y are not multiplied, then the function is quadratic. For example: 3x-y+x2= 2y-5x+7 represents a quadratic function but y= xy+x2+5 doesn't represent a quadratic function.


How can you tell by looking only at the equation of a function with no graph that it is nonlinear?

To be linear, there should only be constants, and variables with constant coefficients. No powers of variables, or numbers raised to the power of a variable, or any other nonlinear function such as log, ln, sin, cos, tan, cosh, etc.


In exponential growth functions the base of the exponent must be greater than 1. How would the function change if the base of the exponent were 1 How would the function change if the base of the expon?

"The base of the exponent" doesn't make sense; base and exponent are two different parts of an exponential function. To be an exponential function, the variable must be in the exponent. Assuming the base is positive:* If the base is greater than 1, the function increases. * If the base is 1, you have a constant function. * If the base is less than 1, the function decreases.


Intricate examples of nonlinear function?

True or false In a nonlinear equation each variable must only have one solution?

In a nonlinear equation, each variable must only have one solution.


Degree of a term?

the variable's exponent


Can a polynomial have a variable exponent?

No. An expression can have a variable exponent (for instance, 2 to the power x, or x to the power y), but that is no longer a polynomial.


What is the exponent of y in 3xy?

Whenever you see a variable (letter) without any exponent, it's exponent is 1.
