Mathematics

Alexxx [7]3 years ago

Answer:

NO! y=x^2-6 is nonlinear

Step-by-step explanation:

A great teacher once told me the easiest way to tell if an equation is linear or not, by just looking at it is, if you see that the equation contains an exponent then you should automatically know that it is nonlinear. Therefore the equation y=x^2-6 is nonlinear!!!

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, y=x²-6 is not a linear function.

This is because all linear functions have the highest exponent of 1. Anything equation that has a variable raised to a power other than 1 is not linear.

The equation provided as the highest exponent of 2. Thus, it's not linear.

From the provided graph, we can also see that this is quadratic instead of linear. The graph is a parabola instead of a line.

Describe how you would use the Distributive Property to simplify (39 × 5). (2 points)
alexandr402 [8]
Use of distributive property will be
(30 x 5) + (9 x 5)

21. the error for x - 28 = 375 is not 347 is because the student subtracted both sides by 28. 347 - 28 is 319 not 375. One must add 28 to both sides of -28 and 375. The -28 and 28 is zero. 375 + 28 = 403.

22. The next three terms are 0.93, 1.02, and 1.11. The rule in the number pattern is one must add 0.09.

well, its easy, theres already a half for the distance, and the representation is an even number, so cut it in half.

20-10 is 10

and now the multiplication

20x3=60

60+10=70
