Which of the following functions are linear y 3x2 5 2x 4y
Which of the following functions are linear? y = 3x^2 + 5 2x + 4y=16 y = 1/x +5 Select all that apply. y= 1/x +5 2x +4y = 16 y=3x^2 +5
Solution
A linear function has the following form
y = f(x) = a + bx
A linear function has one independent variable and one dependent variable
a)
y = 1/x +5
It is not a linear function as it has degree of term x^-1
B 2x +4y = 16
y = -x/2 +4
It is a linear function
C. y = 3x^2 +5 has term x^2 so, it is not a linear function
Option B
