Answer:
Function A is non-linear and Function B is linear.
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear function:
Has the following format:
y = mx + b
In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
In a linear function, when x changes by 1, y will always changes by the same amount.
Function A:
When x changes by 1, y can change by various amounts. So function A is non-linear.
Function B:
y = -x + 5
In the format of a linear function, so linear
Answer:
The answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the second piece is x ft long
The first piece is 2x ft long
The third piece is x+4 ft long
All of the pieces should add up to 10ft
x+2x+x+4=10
4x= 6
x=1.5ft
The first piece is 2x ft long=3 ft long
