No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.
In mathematics, a quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree. The general form is : where a≠ 0. (For if a = 0, the equation becomes a linear equation.) The letters a, b, and c are called coefficients: the quadratic coefficient a is the coefficient of x2, the linear coefficient b is the coefficient of x, and c is the constant coefficient, also called the free term or constant term. Quadratic equations are called quadratic because quadratus is Latin for "square"; in the leading term the variable is squared. A quadratic equation with real or complex coefficients has two (not necessarily distinct) solutions, called roots, which may or may not be real, given by the quadratic formula: : where the symbol "±" indicates that both : and are solutions.
When you multiply both sides of the equation with the multiplicative inverse of the coefficient then the coefficient becomes one. 1/2*x =5 2*1/2*x=2*5 1x=10 x=10
Yes. Any linear equation of the form x = c (meaning that the coefficient of y is zero and that the graphed line is vertical) is not a function, as all points are verticaly above or below every other point. This is by definition a nonfunction.
The expression (3g(x) = x) can be considered a linear equation if (g(x)) is a linear function. A linear equation has the form (y = mx + b), where (m) and (b) are constants. If (g(x)) is indeed linear, then (3g(x)) will also be linear, making the equation (3g(x) = x) a valid linear equation. However, if (g(x)) is nonlinear, then the equation would not be linear.
Assuming the function is linear, the direction of the function can be determined by the coefficient's sign:[y = mx + b]Where m is the coefficient of x, if m is negative, then the function is increasing. If m is positive, the function is decreasing (this relationship is rather complicated and requires advanced calculus to prove).
In an inverse functional form, the coefficient represents the change in the independent variable for a one-unit change in the dependent variable, but in a non-linear context. Specifically, if the functional form is (y = \frac{a}{x} + b), the coefficient of (x) indicates how sensitive the dependent variable (y) is to changes in (x). As (x) increases, the effect of the coefficient diminishes since (y) decreases at a decreasing rate. Therefore, interpreting these coefficients requires careful consideration of the non-linear relationship between the variables.
y = 4x + 2 It has a slope (gradient) or 4. The slope/gradient of a linear function is simply the number in front of the x when the equation is in the form y=mx+b. (the coefficient of x).
The quadratic formula cannot be used to solve an equation if the coefficient of the equation x square term is what?

No. A function need not be linear. For example, y = sin(x) is a function of x but it is not a linear equation.
No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.

A continuous linear decreasing function is a line that goes on forever and has a negative slope (is downhill from left to right). For example, the line y = -x is a continuous linear decreasing function.
In the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is written as ( y = mx + b ), the coefficient ( m ) of the ( x ) term represents the slope of the line. The slope indicates the rate of change of ( y ) with respect to ( x ). The term ( b ) is the y-intercept, which represents the value of ( y ) when ( x ) is zero.
A linear equation always has a degree of one because the slope has to be constant to form a line. So, x + 7 is linear, 7 - x is linear, 4x - 3.7 is linear, but anything with x2 , etc. is not linear.
