LESSON: Linear & Nonlinear Equations

Intro to Non-Linear Regression

So far this quarter, we have only worked with bivariate data that has a linear association. But oftentimes, a linear trendline doesn't fit our data the best!

In this lesson video you'll be introduced to non-linear regression and see examples of data sets where a linear trendline is not the best approximation.

Identifying Linear & Nonlinear Equations

In this lesson video you will learn how to distinguish between equations that will yield linear graphs and nonlinear graphs.

Types of Equations & Graphs

In this lesson video you will learn about the following types of equations and their graphs:

• Linear
• Quadratic
• Polynomial
• Exponential
• Logarithmic
