Question

Determine whether the equation is linear in x.

Answer 1

\[2\sqrt{x}+5=10\]

Answer 2

No it wouldn't be because the degree here of this equation is 1/2 [sqrt x]
And for a linear polynomial it must have a degree of 1 [x]
Understood? :)

Answer 3

So basically because the x is like this: \[\sqrt{x}\] ?

Answer 4

Yes under square root ACTUALLY means!
x^1/2 which means x's largest power in your equation is 1/2
So it IS NOT linear!
