Regarding the equation: y = 3x^2 + 1
---
This equation is not linear, because it contains one term that is the second power of a variable (the term: x^2).
---
Linear equations cannot contain variables to the second power, or to any powers higher than first power.
---
This equation cannot be put into standard-form because it is not a linear equation.
