1. The height of a ball when it is thrown into the air is shown by equation h = −16t2 + 20t + 3, where h is the height of the ball and t is time in seconds since the ball was released. 2. A salesperson’s monthly earnings are shown by the equation e = 1200 + 0.04s, where e represents the salesperson’s monthly earnings and s is her monthly sales.3. The amount of a 500 g sample of a radioactive substance that remains over time is given by the equation , where d is the number of days since the sample weight was 500 g. 4. Mikaela’s distance from home as she drives at a constant rate is b

Is each situation a linear or a nonlinear model?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h = −16t² + 20t + 3 is a quadratic (so non-linear) equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k do you know the others? and #3 doesnt have anything so dont worry about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2. e = 1200 + 0.04s is a linear equation x² refers to quadratic s -> linear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know #4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its linear!!!:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mikaela’s distance from home as she drives at a constant rate is b again, unless it is somewhere explained how to derive the equation, this question os badly posed, but d = distance speed = b is constant t = time d = b*t is linear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eq 3 should be \[M = 500 e^{⁻\lambda d}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is non-linear
