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
D is common in both polynomials
<u>Answer: </u>120
Since there is the 100 in the triangle, the other two sides in the triangle are equal to each other. So they are both 40
