Identify Linear and Non Linear Functions WORKSHEET
Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
Identify Linear and Non Linear Functions WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Throughout this worksheet, learners will determine whether functions are linear or nonlinear. In Section A, students will decide whether 9 graphs are linear or not. In Section B students are given 9 equations. Lastly, Section C introduces tables of values where students will analyze how changes in x affect y to determine if the relationship is linear.
Nonlinear functions include quadratics, cubics, exponential and reciprocal.
See our worksheet “Recognising Cubics, Quadratics, Reciprocals and Straight Line Graphs” for more on this topic.
