what equation(s) demonstrate non linear data?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Take a look at those transformation data sets. Before we transformed it with the logarithm it MAKE it linear, it was decidedly NONlinear.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a) (x, \sqrt{y)} b) (\sqrt{x, y)} c) (x^2, y)\] d) all of the above

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Pretty tough to tell what "b" is. If you convert EVERYTHING to exponents, how many have you were there are ONLY ones (1's)? Note: \(\sqrt{x} = x^{1/2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) (x, sqrt y) b) (sqrt x, y) c) (x^2, y) d) all of the above

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Okay, now answer the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically its all of them?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

You tell me. Confidence only. Is there a set with ONLY exponents = 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Not a useful response. What is the exponent on x. Is it implied and we don't normally write it. What is the exponent on \(\sqrt{y}\)? It takes a little rewriting. What is the exponent on x^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its just x squared

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Identify the exponent portion of \(x^2\). Yes, it is just x squared. What is the exponent portion of that expression?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

So, thinking about exponents, we have: a) (x, sqrt y) -- 1 and 1/2 b) (sqrt x, y) -- 1/2 and 1 c) (x^2, y) -- 2 and 1 Is there a collection with ONLY 1's? No. They are all nonlinear.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is d?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Asked and answered. You tell me and move on to the next one.
