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.

Eight is added to a number and the sum is doubled, the result is -11 less than the number. Find
inna [77]
If you don’t know what a number is, you should substitute it for x and make an equation with the information you have been given. This gives:

(x + 8) x 2 = x - 11

Then, solve:

2x + 16 = x - 11

2x = x -27

x = -27

This can then be checked by using the number in the original text.

-27 + 8 = -19

-19 x 2 = -38

-38 is 11 less than -27.

Hope this helps :)

Please help, I’m struggling
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

49.5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is   A = (height) X (base) / 2

So if you plug in the numbers you get:

806.9 = (32.6) X (base) / 2

1613.8 = (32.6) X (base)

1613.8 / 32.6 = base

base =  49.5 mi

Can somebody please help me with #11 thank you
aniked [119]
The graph is not a function, as it does not pass the vertical line test. The lines at 2,-1 and 2,3 overlay and pass the vertical line more than once, meaning that the graph is not a function.
