please help me answer the following question:
\n" ); document.write( "Is the following equation: \"+Y=+F%2AL%5E3%2F48EI+\" a linear equation and why?
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "It is linear if L, E & I are constants.
\n" ); document.write( "Then Y is a linear function of F.
\n" ); document.write( "o/w not linear due to cubic term and E & I in the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
