You can add, subtract, and multiply them. These three operations obey the rules for integers. There's a polynomial division algorithm that fills formally the same role as the usual division algorithm for integers. Polynomials added to, subtracted from, or multiplied by other polynomials yield only polynomials. Likewise, integers added to, subtracted from, or multiplied by other integers yield only integers.
Answer: ×/2 + 9 =
Step-by-step explanation: when a sentence needs to be visualized it is best to strat from the outside.
So if nine more than blah blah equals 21,
... +9 = 21
The HA Theorem is a special case of the AAS postulate.
One meaning of a 'linear' equation is that if you draw the graph
of the equation, the graph will be a straight line.
That's an easy way to test the equation . . . find 3 points on the
graph, and see whether they're all in a straight line.
This equation is y = 4 / x .
To find a point on the graph, just pick any number for 'x',
and figure out the value of 'y' that goes with it.
Do that 3 times, and you've got 3 points on the graph.
Here ... I'll do 3 quick points:
Point-A: x = 1 y = 4 / 1 = 4
Point-B: x = 2 y = 4 / 2 = 2
Point-C: x = 4 y = 4 / 4 = 1
Look at this:
Slope of the line from point-A to point-B
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -2 .
Slope of the line from point-B to point-C
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -1/2 .
The two pieces of line from A-B and from B-C don't even have
the same slope, so they're not pieces of the same straight line !
So my points A, B, and C are NOT in a straight line.
So the equation is NOT linear.
Try it again with three points of your own.
