Determining Linear and Nonlinear Functions

The video tutorial focuses on distinguishing between linear and nonlinear functions. It covers the characteristics of each type, including their equations, graphs, and rates of change. The tutorial provides examples and practice problems to help students identify these functions from tables, graphs, and equations. Key concepts such as slope, constant rate of change, and the form of equations are discussed to aid in understanding.

What does it mean if a function has a variable in the denominator?

What are some examples of characteristics that indicate a function is nonlinear?

How can you tell if a graph represents a linear function?

Why is the function represented by the equation x^2 considered nonlinear?
