Use the distributive property to multiply y by -6y^3 and -8. This gives you -6y^4 - 8y + y^4. Add the like terms and you get -5y^4 - 8y.
Therefore, the simplest form of this expression is -5y^4 - 8y.
No, this would not be a linear function. Being linear means it creates a straight line, but this function has an x squared. Anytime x^2 is in a function, the graph is a u shape, called a parabola. A simple linear function is y=x :D
