Question 1151409: Decide whether the following function is linear or not linear.
g(w)=−3−6w5
If the function is linear write the equation in slope-intercept form, g(w)=mw+b, and enter the values for m and b in the blanks below. If the expression is not linear, write none in both blanks.
Equation in slope intercept form:
m=
B=

If you were given
g(w) = -3-6w^5
Then this function is NOT linear because this cannot be written in the form y = mx+b, or g(w) = mw+b. Any polynomial of degree n > 1 will be nonlinear. The degree in this case is n = 5 as this is the largest exponent.
