Answer:
a) Degree of 2; non-linear
b) Degree of 1; linear
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The degree is the highest power of the variable in the given equation:
Given y = x^2 + 2x + 1
From the given equation, we can see that the highest power of x is 2. Hence the degree of the equation is 2.
Any equation with degrees of 2 and above is a non-linear equation. Hence the equation is a non-linear equation
b) For the equation 3x + 3y = 6
Divide through by 3
x + y = 2
From the given equation, we can see that the highest power of x and y is 1. Hence the degree of the equation is 1.
Any equation with a degree of 1 is a linear equation. Hence the equation is a linear equation
