sorry no it does not

Answer 4

No because it contains an exponent

Answer 5

If you graph by plugging in x-values, you will get a curve, and a curve is an EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

When you graph it, and it is a straight line, ONLY then it is a linear function.

Answer 6

Yes, camerondoherty, you mean contains an exponent that is not equal to 1.

Answer 7

thanks

Answer 8

Only if the `exponent of x =0` or `exponent of x=1` then it is linear

Answer 9

Anytime !

Answer 10

Yeah hehe sry but it still goes XD

Answer 11

yes, I know what you meant:) You were correct.
