Question

The derivative of the linear function
y=a0 + a1x is:
a) dependent on both the value of x and a1
b)always constant and different to a1
c) there is no derivative, as linear functions do not admit derivatives
d) always constant and equal to a1

Answer 1

\[y=a_0+a_1x\] differentiate with respect to x:\[\frac{dy}{dx}=a_1\]The answer is clear from here.

Answer 2

thanks

Answer 3

you know how to take that derivative though right? I hope so, because that is literally the most simple one you can do!
