OpenStudy (jim766):
great!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
see how its repeating thats how you know
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in the x axis

Which of the following equations represents a linear function?
A. y = 1/x
B. y = x^2 + 4
C. y = -2/3 x + 4/3
D. y = √ x + 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do I do that. Can you walk me through it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Don't give me an answer though.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this 1 may be tricky
OpenStudy (anonymous):
give me a sec

linear functions will not have a variable in the denominator of a fraction
will not have any exponents bigger than 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Jim766 What do you mean?
OpenStudy (jim766):
look at A, see how the x is in the bottom of the fraction?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 bigger is a no no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
basicly

that cant be linear
OpenStudy (jim766):
Look at B, see how it has an exponent bigger than 1, (2)
that cannot be linear
OpenStudy (anonymous):
c can be though
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dexter
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A looks like this y =

D cannot be linear because the variable is sq rooted....we call that a sq root function.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I thought it was x, is it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
c u mean
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and if so u are correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Waoh woah woah I thought it couldn't be any of them...

right in your picture, x is in the bottom of the fraction...cant be linear
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OK, that's what I thought. So NONE of them can be linear?
OpenStudy (jim766):
look at....C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no if u check c carefully you will see
OpenStudy (jim766):
no exponents bigger than 1
no variables in the bottom of a fraction
has got 2 variables

OK...what makes it linear?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct good job
OpenStudy (anonymous):
woops, i see u just put it. :) I think I see...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
good observation
OpenStudy (jim766):
no exponents bigger than 1
no variables in the bottom of a fraction
has got 2 variables
if you graph it, it will make a line

line= linear
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so only that is linear is c
OpenStudy (jim766):
if you have a graphing calculator...
if you put each in Y=
you can see their graphs
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it basicley makes a line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I see. Thanks! :)
