A linear function has 1 as the highest power of the variable.
A. f(x) = 2 - 7x
here, the highest power of the variable x is 1.
Hence it is a LINEAR function.
___________
B. f(x) = 2 + x + x^2
here, the highest power of the variable x is 2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.
_______________
here, the highest power of the variable x is 1/2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.

Answer:
D) 0.500
Step-by-step explanation:
Blue Socks = 6
Grey socks = 10
Probabilities to find :
Since there are a total of 16 socks, the probability of both socks being blue is
Probability(blue) = 
The probability of both being grey is
Probability(grey) =
(Note: After 1 sock is picked , next sock drawn would have a different probability as 1 sock is already picked so it would be 1 minus the total socks available of that color)
The probability two socks match:
Probability(blue) + Probability(grey) = 
+ 
= 
=
= 0.500
Answer: It is a difference of two squares, and it factors to (3x-7)(3x+7)
=============================================================
Explanation:
We can write the 9x^2 as (3x)^2 since
(3x)^2 = (3x)*(3x) = (3*3)*(x*x) = 9x^2
The 49 can be written as 7^2 because 7^2 = 7*7 = 49.
This means 9x^2 - 49 is the same as (3x)^2 - 7^2. We have a difference of two squares.
The difference of squares factoring rule is
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
which we have a = 3x and b = 7 in this case
So,
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
(3x)^2 - 7^2 = (3x-7)(3x+7)
9x^2 - 49 = (3x-7)(3x+7)
Side note: This is the same as (3x+7)(3x-7). We can multiply two numbers in any order.
