1) The equation A = s^2 represents a nonlinear function.
2) Here are some values for the table where s is the side length and A is the area:
s | A
---------
1 | 1
2 | 4
3 | 9
4 | 16
5 | 25
3) When you plot these points, the graph increases as the side length (s) increases. The area (A) also increases.
4) The domain for this equation would include all non-negative real numbers since side length cannot be negative. So, the domain would be [0, ∞).
The equation for the area of a square could be written: A=s^2 (4 points) 1) Is this a linear or nonlinear function? 2) What are some of the values in the table where s is the side length and A is the area? 3) When you plot these points, is the graph increasing or decreasing? 4) What numbers would be included in the domain?
