Non-linear functions

Non-linear equations are part of the function family. This graph line is a absolute value function.

We are going to determine at least 5 different values, so we can create a graph. The first thing you need to do to graph the equation is to create a t-chart. Because you’re graphing a non-straight line, you’ll want to plug in 5 values for x.

Now we can graph the point, if the equation is a absolute value, then it is a V if it is not then it is a U.

Quadratic equations, are U shaped, it is similar to absolute value equation, but don’t confuse them together.

whenever you are creating a t-chart equation, always double check your answers and do it carefully. It is very easy to get it wrong.
