Can an equation be linear if there is an exponent?
yes it can if the exponent is 1.
What distinguishes a linear function from other functions?
A linear function is one in which the power of the function is only one. So, the graph of it would be a straight line. For example, x2 + x = y is not linear, because the highest power is 2. A main difference is, non linear functions have curves, where as a linear function is a straight line, with the exception of when the function has a power of 0, and it is technically a straight line.
What are the zeros of a linear function?
The zeros, or roots, of a linear function is the point at which the line touches the x-axis. Since a linear function is a straight line, it has a maximum of one root (zero). The zero of a function can be determined by the highest degree (power) of the function. Since linear functions are only raised to the power of one, one is the total number of times the line can touch the x-axis. If you function is a horizontal line, it has no root, or zero.
What is the end behavior of a linear function?
Assuming the domain is unbounded, the linear function continues to be a linear function to its end.
Is a linear equation the same as a function?
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.
What is the highest exponent of the leading variable in a linear equation?
1
What is unique about the linear function?
Each variable has an exponent equal to one.
Can an equation be linear if there is an exponent?
yes it can if the exponent is 1.
Is y equals x-2 a linear equations or not?
Yes, since y = x - 2 has the degree of 1 [or the highest exponent of the equation], x - 2 is the linear equation.
How can you determine if a function is a quadratic function from its equation?
If the highest exponent of independent variable(say x) is 2 and the highest exponent of dependent variable(say y) is 1 and x and y are not multiplied, then the function is quadratic. For example: 3x-y+x2= 2y-5x+7 represents a quadratic function but y= xy+x2+5 doesn't represent a quadratic function.

What is the inverse of an exponent function?
It is the logarithmic function.
Why is the exponent of a variable a determining factor in whether an equation is linear?
Because that is how a linear equation is defined!
Is y x -4 a linear function?
Yes, y=x-4 is linear, since the highest power on x is 1 (y = x1-4)
What is the highest exponent of the leading variable in a quadratic equation?
the highest exponent of quadratic equation is 2 good luck on NovaNet peoples
