Describe a situation that models a linear pattern and then describe a situation that models a nonlinear pattern. Do not state which situation is linear and which is nonlinear
Situation 1: In a bakery, a chef bakes batches of cookies, and the number of cookies baked is directly proportional to the number of batches made. For example, if the chef makes 1 batch of cookies, they bake 12 cookies. If they make 2 batches, they bake 24 cookies, and so on. This situation models a linear pattern or relationship.
Situation 2: A car is accelerating on a racetrack. As the driver increases the pressure on the accelerator, the car's speed increases at an increasing rate. Initially, a slight pressure increase may result in a small speed increase, but as more pressure is applied, the speed increases more rapidly. This situation models a nonlinear pattern or relationship.
