Identify the linear term in the function, y-2x^2-5x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given is y-2x^2-5x-12

A linear term is a term which has degree 1 for the variable

Here we have I term y linear since degree 1

Second term is of degree 2.

Third term is linear

Fourth is a constant term

Hence in the given function there are two linear terms

y and -5x.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
