4-3 Patterns Non Linear Fns

1) The document discusses linear and nonlinear functions. A linear function has a straight line graph, while a nonlinear function has a curved or changing graph. 2) Examples are provided to demonstrate identifying linear and nonlinear relationships from tables of input-output values. The difference between consecutive output values must be constant for a relationship to be linear. 3) An example shows representing a geometric relationship between the number of blocks on one edge of a figure and the total blocks. The relationship is nonlinear and follows the pattern of y = x3, where y is total blocks and x is blocks on one edge.

Linear and Non Linear


Functions
Basically look at graph and see if it a
straight line only: Linear Function
The graph is a curve or change of
direction: Nonlinear Function

Students will be able to identify and represent


patterns that describe nonlinear functions.

Example: Representing a Geometric


Relationship
In the diagram below, what is the relationship between the
number of blocks on one edge and the total number of
blocks in each figure?

Example: Representing a
Geometric Relationship

Step 1
Make a table. Use the number of blocks on one edge as
the independent variable (x) and the total number of
blocks in each figure as the dependent variable (y).
Complete the table.

64
125

Example: Representing a
Geometric Relationship
Step 2
Look for a pattern in the table. How did you calculate the
total number of blocks (y), given the number of blocks
on one edge (x)? Then describe the pattern in words.
x

27

64

125

Words: The total number


of blocks y is the cube of
the number of blocks on
one edge x.

Example: Representing a
Geometric Relationship
Step 3
From the pattern in the table write an equation to
represent the relationship between x and y.
x

125

Equation: y = x3

Example: Representing a

Step 4
Use the table to make a graph.

(5, 125)

With a graph, you can see the


nonlinear pattern formed by the
relationship between the
number blocks on one edge and
the total number of blocks of the
figure.

Example: Writing a Rule to Describe a


Nonlinear Function
The ordered pairs (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 8), (4,
16), and (5, 32) represent a function.
What is a rule that represents this
function?
1. Make a table
2. Look for a pattern
y equals the number 2 raised to the xth power.

3. Write and verify the function rule.

y = 2x

Your Turn:
The ordered pairs (1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4,
16), and (5, 25) represent a function.
What is a rule that represents this
