Beyond Straight Lines

Not all relationships are straight lines! Many real-world systems are nonlinear, meaning their relationships change in more complex ways.

Examples of Nonlinear Models

• Quadratic Models: Used for things like projectile motion.
• Exponential Models: Useful for modeling growth, like populations or investments.

Systems of Equations

Sometimes, models need more than one equation to describe them, especially when multiple variables interact.

Why Go Complex?

Nonlinear and complex models can capture more details and provide better predictions, but they may require more advanced math or computers to solve.
