1. 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. Your classmates will need to determine which is which and then write a function that models the linear situation. Your classmates will also need to write 1 ordered pair that is a solution to the linear function and explain its meaning in the context of the situation. .
Situation 1:
A car rental company charges a flat fee of $50 per day to rent a car. Regardless of the duration of the rental, the cost remains the same.
Situation 2:
A cell phone company offers a data plan where customers pay a fixed fee of $30 per month for the first 10GB of data. For any additional data used, they charge an additional $5 per GB.
Now, it is up to the classmates to determine which situation is linear and which is nonlinear.
