Homework Statement



Are the following models linear in parameters? If not, is there any way to make them linear-in-parameter mode?(The picture is in the attached)

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to use dy/dx to show that they are not linear as the dy/dx is not constant. However, I'm not sure how to make it linear

Will really appreciate any help!

Thanks!

I think you need to be clear in your own mind as to what is meant by linear in parameters.

To me the parameters are \beta_0 and \beta_1. The definition of linearity I like is the following. A function is linear in parameters c0, c1,...,cn if the function can be written in the form:

f = c0 + c1f1(x) + c2f2(x) + ... + cnfn(x)

where f1(x), f2(x), ..., fn(x) are pure functions of x.

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
