ACTIVITY:
Comparing Linear and Nonlinear Functions
Work with a partner. Each table shows the height h (in feet) of a falling object
at t seconds.
Graph the data in each table.
●
Decide whether each graph is linear or nonlinear.
●
Compare the two falling objects. Which one has an increasing speed?
●
a. Falling parachute jumper
b. Falling bowling ball

IN YOUR OWN WORDS
How can you recognize when a pattern in real life
is linear or nonlinear? Describe two real-life patterns: one that is linear
and one that is nonlinear. Use patterns that are different from those
described in Activities 1 and 2.
Use what you learned about comparing linear and nonlinear
functions to complete Exercises 3 – 6 on page 270.
