Nonlinear functions and equations

Nonlinear equations in one variable and systems of equations in two variables: practice and worksheets

Solve quadratic and other nonlinear equations, and find intersections in linear–nonlinear systems.

273 questions Foundation to advanced Grade 9

Concept overview

Nonlinear equations may have several real solutions because a curved graph can cross a line or the x-axis more than once. Factoring, square roots, substitution, and graph interpretation are common methods.

Key points

  • Move all terms to one side before factoring a quadratic equation.
  • Check for extraneous solutions after squaring or other non-reversible steps.
  • In a system, each intersection point is a solution to both equations.

Worked example

Solving x² − 5x + 6 = 0 gives (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0, so the solutions are x = 2 and x = 3.
