@.Mehek.

OpenStudy (photon336):

ideas?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

noo..

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

do you know what it is?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@sammixboo

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

please someone help :)

OpenStudy (plainntall):

What is a linear function? A linear function has the form of y=a+bx, do any of the choices look like that?

OpenStudy (er.mohd.amir):

where is power of x and y are 1 and non negative is liner polynomial

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

oh ok.. so c?

OpenStudy (er.mohd.amir):

no

OpenStudy (plainntall):

Let's look at each one y=3x^2 y=1/3x y=x^3+5 (2/3)x=y-1 let's solve for y so we have y=(2/3)x+1 which one looks like y=ax+b?

OpenStudy (plainntall):

To put it more clearly \[y=3x ^{2} ; y=\frac{ 1 }{ 3x } ; y=x ^{3}+5 ; y=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x+1\]

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

um, A?!

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@plainntall ?

OpenStudy (plainntall):

It is the last one. \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x=y-1\] The biggest hint is that it has x and y, the others have x squared, x to the -1 power, x cubed

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

D?

OpenStudy (plainntall):

Remember that a linear equation looks like y=ax+b y=ax^2 is not linear because it has x squared y=1/(3x) has the x in the denominator so it isn't linear y=x^3+5 has x cubed so it isn't linear only (2/3)x=y-1 which can be written as y=(2/3)x+1 looks like y=ax+b where a is 2/3 and b is 1.

OpenStudy (plainntall):

Yes D

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ohhhhhh i get it now.. thanks so much!! i have one more question :)

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

OpenStudy (plainntall):

Let's think about what happens in each segment P the distance is increasing with time Q the distance does not change with time R the distance is increasing faster with time than in P S the distance decreases with time Where do you think the cyclist stopped moving and rank the water from that information.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

Q?

OpenStudy (plainntall):

Great, good job. So that means the cyclist completed what segment before Q where she stopped and drank the water?
