The main goal of injury and illness prevention programs is to prevent workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths, the suffering these events cause workers, and the financial hardship they cause both workers and employers.
Linear algebra describes things in two dimensions, but many of the concepts can be extended into three, four or more. Linear algebra implies two dimensional reasoning, however, the concepts covered in linear algebra provide the basis for multi-dimensional representations of mathematical reasoning. Matrices, vectors, vector spaces, transformations, eigenvectors/values all help us to visualize and understand multi dimensional concepts.
Definition of Linear Function. A function that can be graphically represented in the Cartesian coordinate plane by a straight line is called a Linear Function. A linear function is a first degree polynomial of the form, F(x) = m x + c, where m and c are constants and x is a real variable. The constant m is called slope and c is called y-intercept. Example of Linear Function. y = 3x + 5 is a linear function. The graph of the function y = 2x is shown below.
