Onto another area in the section, linear or non-linear?
example:
For each of the relationships below, explain whether you think it is best described by a linear function or a non-linear function. Explain your reasoning thoroughly
a. How fast it takes you to get to work as a function of how fast you drive
b. Probability of getting into a car accident as a function of how fast you drive
c. Your height as a function of age (from age 0 to 100)
I say (a) is best solved by a non-linear, too many variables beyond just speed and time.
(b) no idea
(c)...hmmm linear as the line or curve can be solved with a basic function using a x/y axis? SWAG on my part
