Question

True or false 
will post equation bellow

anonymous · Answer

$$x(3-x)=10$$ is it a linear equation.

igreen · Answer

Do you know what linear equations are?

anonymous · Answer

No

igreen · Answer

Linear equations have perfectly straight lines.

anonymous · Answer

I solved and got $$3x-x ^{2}=10$$

igreen · Answer

If we distribute 'x' into the parenthesis, we get:

$x(3 - x) = 10$

$3x - x^2 = 10~\Large\color{lime} \checkmark$

igreen · Answer

We can also write it as:

$x^2 - 3x = 10$

igreen · Answer

Linear equations do not have 'x' as squared..if 'x' is squared it is a PARABOLA not a linear line..so what will our answer be?

anonymous · Answer

false

igreen · Answer

Yep, you got it.

anonymous · Answer

but can you tell me which kinda equation it is please?

igreen · Answer

It's a parabola.

anonymous · Answer

Oh

igreen · Answer

We can re-arrange it to:

$x^2 - 3x - 10$

(by subtracting 10 to both sides)

And that is the standard form of a parabola..

anonymous · Answer

my classmate just told me it was a "quadratic equation" unless those are the same thing

anonymous · Answer

It is a quadratic equation but it is a parabola too

anonymous · Answer

oh ok thank you, both of you. I think i will be able to do this on my own.

anonymous · Answer

It makes a parabola shape

igreen · Answer

Yep, they are the same..quadratic equation.
