 Question 398901: State whether the equations represent a linear, quadratic, or exponential function 1) y=2^x^2 I thought this would be exponential but not sure since the ^x is not a number and that is squared. 2)10x+7-y=0 At first I thought this was linear but to make it in linear format it would be 10x+7=y which is not y=mx+b so I now think this is not any of the options. 3)y=10^2^x I feel this is exponential. Am I correct? So confused. Click here to see answer by jsmallt9(3296)
