Let's assume (for simplicity) that "y" is a function of "x". That means that for every value of "x", there is a unique value of "y". In this case, if the equation can be solved for "y", it is a function. Some equations are difficult or impossible to solve explicitly for "y"; in this case, "y" may still be a function of "x", if for every value of "x" only a single value of "y" is possible for the equation. However, if this is the case, it may be difficult to verify.

How can you tell a linear function from an equation?
An equation is a statement that two things are equal. A function is a rule or process that gives you a value if you give it something in its domain (the set of things on which it is defined) as an argument. Functions on numbers that are defined by a rule can usually be expressed by an equation. A linear function is one that can be defined by a linear equation.
What is thedifrent betweena quadratic equation and a quadratic function?
An equation just has an equal sign. A function is basically just an equation without one!
Is there an instance that a linear equation is not a function?
There is one form of linear equation that is not a function, and that is when x = c, where c is a constant.
When do you say that the equation is a function or not?
i may only be 10 yrs old but i can say that an equation is not an function like the graphs of quadratic functions you will only be given an equation
Can you tell how a quadratic equation can become linear equation?
You can easily tell by substituting 0 for a.
Is this equation a function y equals 3squared plus 2x minus 3 is this a function?
You can tell if an equation is a function if for any x value that you put into the function, you get only one y value. The equation you asked about is the equation of a line. It is a function.

Without using a graph how can you tell if an equation is a function or relation?
Verticle line test man. If it intersects two points it is its not a function. if it hits one point it is a function. and im currently looking up to see how it is a equation...
What does the rule for a quadratic function tell you about how the graph of the function will look?
If the quadratic function is written as ax2 + bx + c then if a > 0 the function is cup shaped and if a < 0 it is cap shaped. (if a = 0 it is not a quadratic) if b2 > 4ac then the equation crosses the x-axis twice. if b2 = 4ac then the equation touches the x-axis (is a tangent to it). if b2 < 4ac then the equation does not cross the x-axis.
An equation that describes a function?
a function rule
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.
If a function is defined by an equation explain how to find its domain.?
The set of all values of x, for which the equation is true is the domain of the function defined by that equation.

What is the equation of a logarithmic equation?
A logarithmic equation would be any equation that includes the log function.
Is the equation for a circle a function?
The equation for a circle is a function in that it can be graphed and charted. One common equation is x^2 + y^2 = r^2.
Is there an instance that a linear equation is not a function?
There is one form of linear equation that is not a function, and that is when x = c, where c is a constant.
Do a linear equation and a function share the same definition?
No. A function need not be linear. For example, y = sin(x) is a function of x but it is not a linear equation.
