non-linear data? help

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

which is non-linear data? \[x \sqrt y\] \[\sqrt x,y\] \[x^2,y\] all of the above

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

@Hero

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

im not sure but i think its all of the above?

hero (hero):

Why do you think so? Can you justify your conclusion here?

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

the exponents have to =1

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

well none of them equal exactly just one

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

because a is 1 and 1/2 b is 1/2 and 1 and c is 2 and 1

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

or something like that haha

hero (hero):

That's a good enough justification

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

so its d? haha im thinking because since they are not 1 that means non of them are linear

hero (hero):

Yes, d is correct.

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

sweet

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

thank you!

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

ok and also, with an exponential trasformation, the data set (x,y) has to change to, log x log y?

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

either that or x, log y because the y has to change

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

this one was kind of confusing to me, im a senior in high school taking statistics.
