Tim is working with two function machines, (x)= x - 5 and g(x) = 3r -8. He wants to stack the two machines so that the output of the first machine becomes the input of the second. His beginning input is 5. In what order must he put the machines to get a final output of 44?

Which statement best explains whether the table represents a linear or nonlinear function? input (x) output (y) 2 5 4 10 6 15 8 20 it is a linear function because the input values are increasing. it is a nonlinear function because the output values are increasing. it is a linear function because there is a constant rate of change in both the input and output. it is a nonlinear function because there is a constant rate of change in both the input and output.
