Identify in the following equation is quadratic or linear?
y=10^3x
According to what I understand this needs to be a quadratic equation, because it is in exponential form, and a linear equation does not use exponents am I right??
If you mean 1000x, it is linear. It is were quadratic, there would be an x^2 term.
I assumen that you don't mean 1000 to the 3x power
Actually it does say y=10^3x which confuses me a little bit, I research a little and I think that this could be an equation in exponential function is this right??
Thank you for answering so fast!!
Actually, the given equation is not quadratic. It is a linear equation.
To determine whether an equation is quadratic or linear, you need to look at the highest power of the variable involved. In this case, the variable is x. Since the highest power of x is 1 (because there's no x^2 term), the equation is linear.
Quadratic equations, on the other hand, involve the variable raised to the power of 2 (x^2) as their highest power. An example of a quadratic equation would be y = ax^2 + bx + c.
In the given equation y = 10^3x, the variable x is only raised to the power of 1, making it a linear equation.
