In Exercise, treat the given nonlinear functions as linear functions in order to sketch their graphs. At times, this can he useful in showing certain values of a function. For example, y = 2 + 3x2 can be shown as a straight line by graphing y as a function of x2. A table of values for this graph is shown along with the corresponding graph in Fig. 1.
x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
x2 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 9 | 16 | 25 |
y | 2 | 5 | 14 | 29 | 50 | 77 |
A spacecraft is launched such that its altitude h (in km) is given by h = 300 + 2t3/2 for 0 ≤ t < 100 s. Sketch this as a linear function.
