“write a bivariate linear equation with the following property, or explain why this cannot be done. -> regardless of what value “x” has, the corresponding “y” -value is always positive.

the construction of fields of formal infinite series in several variables, generalizing the classical notion of formal Laurent series in one variable. Our discussion addresses the field operations for these series (addition, multiplication, and division), the composition, and includes an implicit function theorem.

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:
