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?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
