Question 311436: 48 For each of the relationships below, explain whether you think it is best described by a linear function or a non-linear function. Explain your reasoning thoroughly.
a. The time it takes you to get to work as a function the speed at which you drive
b. The probability of getting into a car accident as a function of the speed at which you drive
c. A person's height as a function of the person's age (from age 0 to 100)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For each of the relationships below, explain whether you think it is best described by a linear function or a non-linear function. Explain your reasoning thoroughly.
a. The time it takes you to get to work as a function the speed at which you drive
---
time and speed are directly related so best described by linear function.
----------------------------------------
b. The probability of getting into a car accident as a function of the speed at which you drive
Increasing speed from 10 to 20 does not have the same effect on
safety as increasing the speed from 55 to 65.
Non-linear

c. A person's height as a function of the person's age (from age 0 to 100)
Non-linear
