What is a linear equation ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
dusya [7]3 years ago
8 0

A linear equation is an equation that represents a line. A linear equation has a variable raised to the 1st power.

For example, Y = 2x, Y = x + 1, Y = 8x - 3 are examples of linear equations.

However, something like Y =\frac{4}{x} and Y = 6^{x} seem to have a variable raised to the 1st power, but they're not linear.

A biologist took a count of the number of migrating waterfowl at a particular lake, and recounted the lake's population of water
taurus [48]

Quadratic function ( in standard form ):

y = a x² + b x + c

x = 0:

635 = 0 + 0 + c

c = 635

x = 1:

644 = a + b + 635

a + b = 9

x = 2:

719 = 4 a + 2 b + 635

4 a + 2 b = 84

and now we have a system:

a + b = 9   /  * ( - 2 )

4 a + 2 b = 84

-------------------------

- 2 a + 2 b = - 18

+

 4 a + 2 b  = 84

-------------------------

  2 a = 66

 a = 33;   b = - 24;

 Function is:

 f ( x ) = 33 x² - 24 x + 635

f ( 8 ) = 33 * 64 - 24 * 8 + 635 = 2,112 - 192 + 635 = 2,555

 Answer: The number of waterfowl on week 8 would be 2,555.

18 bikes, 9 have gears (G), 11 have suspension (S) and 5 with both,What is the probability that a bike with suspension or gears?
vichka [17]

Answer:

  • 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total number of bikes = 18
  • Bikes with gears S = 9
  • Bikes with suspension S = 11
  • Bikes with both GS = 5

<u>From the information above we have:</u>

  • Bikes with gears only = 9 - 5 = 4
  • Bikes with suspension only = 11 - 5 = 6

<u>Sum of the above two gives us the number of bikes with suspension or gears:</u>

  • 4 + 6 = 10

<u>Probability of selected bike be G or S is:</u>

  • P(G or S) = 10/18 = 5/9
