Is the function linear or nonlinear? y=1/x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Arlecino [84]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

nonlinear

Step-by-step explanation:

To be linear, the power on x and y has to be 1

y = 1/x

y = x^-1

-1 is not the same as 1

This is not linear

Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
Firdavs [7]

y = -1 + 3/8x

2x - 5y = 6

Substitute the first equation into the second equation, since y is already by itself.

2x - 5(-1 + 3/8x) = 6

2x + 5 - 15/8x = 6

2x - 15/8x = 1

16/8x - 15/8x = 1

1/8x = 1 Multiply 8 on both sides to get x by itself

x = 8


Plug x into either of the equations.

y = -1 + 3/8(8)

y = -1 + 3

y = 2


2(8) - 5y = 6

16 - 5y = 6

-5y = -10

y = 2

​Solve for x. 5x−2(x+1)=1/4 ​ <br><br> Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

x=  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−2(x+1)= 1 /4

5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)= 1 /4

(Distribute)

5x+−2x+−2= 1 /4

(5x+−2x)+(−2)= 1 /4

(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−2= 1 /4

3x−2=1 /4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

3x−2+2= 1 /4 +2

3x= 9 /4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/ 3 = 9 /4 /3

x= 3 /4
