Question

The equation for the area of a square could be written: A=s^2

1) Is this a linear or nonlinear function?
2) What are some of the values in the table where s is the side length and A is the area?
3) When you plot these points, is the graph increasing or decreasing?
4) What numbers would be included in the domain?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

1) It is a nonlinear function.

2) The values in the table could be as follows:

| s | A |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 4 |
| 3 | 9 |
| 4 | 16 |
| 5 | 25 |

3) The graph is not increasing or decreasing. It forms a curve.

4) The domain would include all real numbers greater than or equal to zero, as the side length of a square cannot be negative. So, the domain would be [0, ∞).
