what is the best way to solve a non-linear equation.
algebraically or graphing
Explain

Answer 1

@pooja195 @satellite73 @Directrix @TheSmartOne

Answer 2

what kind of non linear equation are exactly talking
equations of this \[ax^2+bx+c=0\]
or something like this \[ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=0\]
or equation involving trigonometry , or perhaps those with exponential and logs
be specific your question is very broad
all of these i mentioned are non-linear

Answer 3

and algebraic or graph just depends on the situation and the question that is been asked

Answer 4

like which one is easiest

Answer 5

look there is not easiest or harder!
just depends on how the question wants you do it!
and your question is still unclear and broad perhaps if you specify with examples
it would be more clear what you need to know

Answer 6

like how is solving non linear equations algebraically easier than solving them graphically

Answer 7

you are just circling around the same thing you are still in a big ocean
tell me for example i want to know how to fish exactly octopus! do you get my point

Answer 8

well.. @jagr2713 do you know how to solve a linear equation? how to solve for "y"?

do you know how to graph it?

Answer 9

if not, then you may want to start there first
then you could decide which one is easier
