Strange question. I expected to se a somewhere, but there is none.

can be called a linear polynomial, or a linear binomial.
In an x-y plane, <--> <--> <--> is the equation of the vertical line shown below.
, while graphs as
is a linear equation, can be called a linear function.
On the other hand, or does not show a linear relation ship between and .
The value of is fixed.
The value of is anything, not depending on a variable .

Something similar can be said of <--> .

can be called a quadratic polynomial, or a quadratic binomial, because it is a polynomial of degree 2.
It cannot be called linear.
has an , and the term linear is reserved for polynomials where there is no visible exponent on the one variable.

<--> <--> <--> <-->
In an x-y plane that would graph as two vertical lines.
