Question

Classify the expression: 5x + 2.

A) Linear expression
B) Quadratic expression
C) Cubic expression
D) Quartic expression

Answer 1

A) Linear Expression

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option: A. The given equation is a linear expression

Solution:

The linear expression is the expression whose highest degree is 1 after combining the degrees of all the terms in the expression.

Here in the problem the expression is
`5x` + 2 which can also be written as,
`(5x^(1)+2^(1))`

We can see that the degree of term
`5x` is 1 and the degree of term 2 is also 1

So, the highest degree of the given expression is =1

Hence, the equation is a linear expression.
