Which of the following is a nonlinear function? a. during a storm, a team of researchers calculates the rain is falling at a rate of 1.2 centimeters per hour. b. ronald has a car that depreciates in value by 11% every year. c. edith is a member of a magazine subscription program. she pays $11 for five magazines. d. sam's weekly pay increases by $50 every year stays at the same job.

answer: (1,3) and (-2,0) i think.

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
