Texas Instruments: Nonlinear Pendulum Problems

Explore nonlinear systems through graphs and algebra. High schoolers begin by examining the different types of quadratic functions and their possible intersections. They then use algebraic methods to solve systems containing various...

A function is like a machine that has an input and an output. Challenge scholars to look at the eight given points and determine the two functions that would fit four of the points each — one is linear and the other non-linear. The...

Is it possible to tell if a table of values represents a linear function or a nonlinear function? One way is to graph the ordered pairs to see if it makes a straight line. But, take a look at the rate of change in the table. If the rate...

Now that budding mathematicians have figured out linear systems, its time to try nonlinear! A video tutorial outlines the steps of solving a linear-quadratic system of equations. The instructor demonstrates each step of the process using...

Quadratic functions are nonlinear functions that create parabolas when graphed.

There's just something special about lines in algebra. Introduce your classes to linear equations by analyzing the linear relationship. Young mathematicians use input/output pairs to determine the slope and the slope-intercept formula to...

Find out when can you solve a problem using linear or nonlinear equation.

The topic summary outlines non-linear functions and models. Some topics reviewed are quadratic functions, exponential functions, logistic functions, and logarithms. The resource consists of definitions, notes, and examples.

The online quiz assesses student comprehension of math concepts. The quiz consists of true/false questions about non-linear functions and models.

In this activity, students understand the concepts associated with the graphs of linear functions. They find and plot points, sketch graphs, and calculate gradient and intercepts.
