Introduction to Functions Discussion Before engaging in the discussion, view the Discussion Guidelines and the Discussion Rubric to ensure that you understand the expectations for this activity. Once you have posted your response, you are also required to respond to at least two other students’ posts. You may want to check back later to respond to your classmates.

1. Describe a situation that models a linear pattern and then describe a situation that models a nonlinear pattern. Do not state which situation is linear and which is nonlinear. Your classmates will need to determine which is which and then write a function that models the linear situation. Your classmates will also need to write 1 ordered pair that is a solution to the linear function and explain its meaning in the context of the situation.

For your original discussion post, you only need to respond to #1.

2. View posts from your classmates and choose one to respond to. You will need to determine which situation is linear and which situation is nonlinear. For the linear situation you will need to write a function that models it and then write 1 ordered pair that is a solution and explain its meaning in the context of the situation.

3. View responses and comment on the work of another classmate. You may correct any errors that you find, show another way to solve the problem, or provide constructive feedback on the work.
