A linear equation consists of polynomials of degree _______.
A linear equation consists of polynomials of degree _______.
(A) One
(B) Two
(C) Three
(D) Four
A linear equation is an equation where the variable is raised to the first power, meaning the variable's exponent is a 1. Its general form is given by ax + b = 0, where a is not equal to zero and b is a constant. So an example of a linear equation would be 2x + 5 = 0. However, an example of a non-linear equation would be x2 + 3 = 0 or x^3 - 4x = 0. So a linear equation is a polynomial of degree one. Therefore, (A) One is correct.
