Answer:
C: F(x)=x^2-0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
When the x is squared it's a parabola. A linear graph is shaped like a straight line, while a parabola is curved inward. I have included a graph of what that function would look like (tap/click on it to see the full graph.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The grsaph of the linear function is a straight line.
The equation of a line in the slope-intercept fomr is:
y = mx + b
where
m - slope
b - y-intercept
We have:
A: f(x) = x + 0.5
it's a linear function: m = 1, b = 0.5
B: f(x) = -x + 0.5
it's a linear function: m = -1, b = 0.5
C: f(x) = x² - 0.5
it's not a linear function because in the equation is square of x (x²).
The graph of this function is a parabola.
D: f(x) = 0.5x
it's a linear function: m = 0.5, b = 0
