What is the difference between nonlinear and linear equations?
== Linear equations are those that use only linear functions and operations. Examples of linearity: differentiation, integration, addition, subtraction, logarithms, multiplication or division by a constant, etc. Examples of non-linearity: trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan, etc.), multiplication or division by variables.
What is numerical solutions of nonlinear equations?
Linear equations, if they have a solution, can be solved analytically. On the other hand, it may not always be possible to find a solution to nonlinear equations. This is where you use various numerical methods (eg Newton-Raphson) to work from one approximate numerical solution to a better solution. This iterative procedure, if properly applied, gives accurate numerical solutions to nonlinear equations. But as mentioned above, they are not arrived at analytically.
How are linear equations and functions alike?
They are not. A vertical line is not a function so all linear equations are not functions. And all functions are not linear equations.
How are functions and linear equations similar?
Linear equations are a small minority of functions.
How are functions like linear equations?
Most functions are not like linear equations.
Examples of nonlinear equations?
y=x2 and y=lnx are two examples of nonlinear equations.

Are linear equations and functions different?
All linear equations are functions but not all functions are linear equations.
What is nonlinear?
Nonlinear means something is not in a line. It is a term commonly used in math, meaning two or more equations are not on the same line.
