Solving Nonlinear Systems of Equations

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...

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

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...

In this nonlinear systems of equations learning exercise, students solve nonlinear equations through elimination. They read statements, write equations, and solve systems of equations. This two-page learning exercise contains 20...

In this systems of equations worksheet, students solve nonlinear systems of equations. This two-page worksheet contains 20 problems.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders solve nonlinear inequalities, graph the solution set on the number line, and write the solution in interval notation.  The one page worksheet contains thirty-eight problems.  Answers...

Bring the video in tow when studying linear functions. Young pupils learn to apply linear functions to real-world contexts by watching a short instructional video. Given information about the cost of hiring a tow company, they create a...

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...

Using rates from a rental car company, young mathematicians graph data, explore linear relationships, and discuss the role of slope and the y-intercept. This lesson allows for the discussion of independent and dependent variables, as...

Watch this tutorial to discover how to tell if a function is linear or nonlinear from a graph. [3:34]
