No. The equation 3/2 x + 2/3 y - 7 = 42 is a linear equation. But the coefficients of x and y are both rational numbers, not whole numbers.

How do I write an equation in standard form with integer coefficients?

The answer will depend on the form of the equation. Whether it is an equation in one or more variables, whether it is linear or polynomial, there are different standard forms for exponential equations.


What is nthe term for the number added in front of some compounds to balance a chemical equation?

They are coefficients, and in most cases, they are whole numbers.


What is the domain for linear functions?

It can be anything that you choose it to be. It can be the whole real line or any proper subset - including disjoint subsets. It can be matrices, all of the same dimensions (Linear Algebra is based on them) or a whole host of other alternatives.


Linear equation and non linear eqauation?

Placing a question mark at the end of a list of expressions or numbers does not make it a sensible question. Try to use a whole sentence to describe what it is that you want answered.


What do you call the numbers used to balance equations?

The numbers placed immediately before formulas of compounds and/or elements involved in the reaction are called "coefficients" and those placed immediately after element symbols, depressed below the typographical line of the element symbol are called "subscripts". The subscripts show the number of atoms of a particular element in a formula unit of a molecule or other compound.


What is the meaning of coefficients?

3xy -- 3 is the coefficient of the variables x and y All these are being multiplied -- 3 times x times y Definition of coefficient -- A numerical value multiplied by a variable. Numerical values are not only whole numbers, but can be fractions (rational numbers), negative numbers, irrational numbers and imaginary numbers.


What set represent the whole numbers?

It depends on WHAT you are referring to, if you are talking about fractions than it is the denominators( the bottom number), on a number line it is the numbers to the right of the 0 mark or the positives, other than that you need to explain more is it algebra, linear equations, fractions, unit rates, dealing with coefficients, etc. - kyleigh Phillips, 12 Source: high honors in math, been doing algebra since fourth grade, math geek


What does polynomial with rational coefficients mean?

Let's define this question one word at a time. A polynomial is an equation with the variable x raised to whole number powers other than 0. This may include 2x + 3, or x2 - 8x + 16, or even x5 - 4x3 + 9. Coefficients are the numbers multiplied by the x term in question. The term 6x3 has a coefficient of 6, the term -x/2 has a coefficient of -1/2 and the term x2 has a coefficient of 1. Rational numbers are those which can be written as a ratio, or a fraction. This means its decimal notation will either have a finite amount of digits, like 0.625 (5/8), or a repeating series of decimals, e.g. 2.16666... or 13/6. Rational numbers can only be formed with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division - this means it excludes functions like taking the square root, the sine, or the log of a number. In summary, a polynomial with rational coefficients is an expression with multiple terms, such as ax2 + bx + c, where the coefficients 'a' and 'b' (and typically 'c' as well, as it is the coefficient of x0 which is 1 by definition, and is therefore being multiplied by 1) are rational numbers. This can extend to mean a polynomial of any degree, be it linear (x), cubic (x3), quartic (x4) or anything higher - so long as the coefficients of all the x terms are rational.


How do you find the equation that matches a scattered plot?

use a graphing calculator. chances are, it's not linear; it's probably got some high-degree function with non-whole number coefficients. i think you can download a free graphing calculator online.


What is the domain in linear graph?

It is the set of values on the x-axis for which a y-value is defined. For a normal, unconstrained graph, it is likely to be the whole of the real numbers.


Why should you clear fractions and decimals when soloving linear equations?

There is absolutely no REQUIREMENT to do so. It is simply that many people prefer to work with whole numbers.


How do you solve equations involving fractional coefficients?

multiply the whole equation by the number in the denominator
