Section outline

  • In Topic 4, you learned several methods to solve scalar nonlinear equations.

    Do you remember some of the scalar nonlinear equations?

    Let's test yourself! Which one of the following equations is a nonlinear equation? 

    a) 2x+6=0

    b) 4x+sin(x)=0

    c) 3x^2+6=0

    Now, Topic 5 is about finding the roots or solutions to nonlinear systems of equations.
