Answer:
Option b) f(x) has no x² term.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statements are:
a) f(x) has no constant term.
b) f(x) has no x² term.
c) f(x) has no terms with a coefficient other than 1.
d) f(x) has no x-term.
========================================
The general form of a linear function is ⇒ f(x) = ax + b
Where a and b are constants and x is the variable.
According to the general form, we will check the options
Option a: f(x) has no constant term.
The constant term is b at the general form
b may be equal 0 or not
So, This statement may or may not be true.
Option b: f(x) has no x² term.
As shown in the general form, there is no x²
So, This statement must be true.
Option c: f(x) has no terms with a coefficient other than 1.
The function can have terms with coefficients other than 1 e.g f(x) = 2x + 3. So, This statement is Wrong
Option d: f(x) has no x-term.
f(x) must have x term as shown at the general form
So, This statement is Wrong
So, the correct answer is option b.
