Question

Which statement best describes the equation y = 4x^2? A. The equation does not represent a function. B. The equation represents a function, but not a linear function. C. The equation represents a linear function. D. The equation represents a line, but not a linear function.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

B. The equation represents a function, but not a linear function.

Explanation:

Equation with x squared:

A equation in which the highest power of x is 2, that is, a term
`ax^2`, is called a quadratic function.

In this question:

`y = 4x^2` is a function.

However, since the highest power of x is 2, it is not a linear function, it is a quadratic function, and the correct answer is given by option B.
