Question

There are 3,600 seconds in one hour. the total seconds is the function of the hours . does this situation represent a linear or nonlinear function

Answer 1

Its a Linear Function

Answer 2

Answer – A linear function

Given the following parameters:

There are 3,600 seconds in one hour.

The total seconds is the function of the hours.

Let the total seconds be ‘s’

Let the hours be ‘h’

s = f(h) = 3,600h

This situation represents a linear function in the form of f(x) = a + bx

Here, in the form of f(x) = a + bx,

s = f(h) = 0 + 3,600h ... (Linear Function)
