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?
answer each question and put them in rows
1) This is a nonlinear function.
2) Table with side length (s) and area (A):
- s = 1, A = 1
- s = 2, A = 4
- s = 3, A = 9
- s = 4, A = 16
- s = 5, A = 25
3) When you plot these points, the graph is increasing.
4) The domain would include all positive real numbers since the side length of a square cannot be negative or zero.
