Identifying Non-Linear Function Patterns

The video tutorial covers patterns and nonlinear functions, focusing on identifying and representing these patterns. It begins with definitions and examples of linear and nonlinear functions. The tutorial includes three examples: analyzing graphs of pizza area and sauce cost to determine linearity, using patterns to represent relationships with blocks and cubes, and finding equations for nonlinear functions from ordered pairs. The video emphasizes using various representations like words, tables, equations, and graphs to understand these functions.

What is a linear function?

• A function represented only by a vertical line

• A function that cannot be graphed

• A function whose graph is a non-vertical line

• A function represented by a curve
