Which polynomial is linear in (x) but has no constant term?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(6x\)
In \(6x\), the highest power of \(x\) is \(1\), so it is a linear polynomial. It has no constant term and can be written as \(6x+0\). Although \(6x+1\) is also linear, its constant term is \(1\). Exam tip: a linear polynomial has the form \(ax+b\), where \(a\ne0\), and \(b\) is the constant term.
