The sum of a number and negative three, multiplied by the number? ​

Sagot :

Answer:

x² - 3

This expression is not linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = unknown number

The sum of a number and negative 3

Sum = addition

We are adding the unknown number "x" and -3

So we have x + (-3) or just x - 3

The sum of that is multiplied by the unknown number

So we get ( x - 3 ) x

We can then simplify this expression to get  x² - 3x

Any expression with an exponent is not linear. Refer to the attached image for more validation. A linear expression would create a straight line. The expression x² - 3x creates a curved line
