Exercise 1 Page 191

Think about the standard form of an equation.

Non-linear

Practice makes perfect

We will examine the linearity of the given equation.

x^()goldenrod3+y= 8 ⇔ 1x^()goldenrod3+1 y= 8 Note that it looks as though it might be in the standard form. Ax+By= C In the above equation A, B, and C are real numbers, and A and B cannot be both 0. However, it has a variable with a power of 3, 1x^()goldenrod3. Therefore, it is not linear.
