To form a linear combination of two things, you multiply each by a constant and then add the result together. For example, 2x+3y, -x+4y, ex-πy, 0x+0y are all linear combinations of x and y. -3y is even a linear combination of x and y because 0x-3y=-3y. Which of the following are linear combinations of a and b? Select all that apply.
2a-5b
ab+b
3a
b-a
2a^(2)-3b^(2)
