I need some help with my linear equations homework

AI Thread Summary
To determine if an equation represents a linear function, it should be in the form f(x) = ax + b. For the equation y = 3x, create a table with x values centered around 0, such as -3 to 3, and calculate corresponding y values. Next, draw a set of axes, label them, and plot the points from the table. It’s important to attempt solving problems independently, but guidance is available for beginners. This assistance is beneficial for those struggling with linear equations.

alright


can anyone tell me how to determine weather or not the equation represents a linear function?



and i have a few more questions to




please help me?

f(x) = ax + b represents linear function.
 
ok how dose that help me solve this problem


y=3x

i have to graph it and put it in a table can you help me?
 
Do the table first. Make one column x, and the other column y. Pick a few integers, centered around 0 (such as -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3), and put them under x. Then, use your equation to find the corresponding y values.

Draw a set of axes, and label them x and y. Number them, with a scale that makes sense. Now, put each of the points you found in the table on the graph.

I'm being a little more generous than people here usually are, as you seem to be really new at this. However, you are usually expected to show some attempt at solving your own work.
 
alright thanks


i am new at this stuff and my teacher sucks at teaching me so this really helps me


thats all of the help i need
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
