Answer: The correct answer is Yes, the relationship between x and y is a non-linear function.

I hope this helps.

Explanation:

Given the table

Edge Length, x Surface Area, y

1 6

2 24

3 54

4 96

The table values clearly represent a function, because each input value has one and only one output value. i.e. there is no repetition of x values.

Also from the table values and the graph, it is clear that the function is not a linear function, because the graph is not a straight line. Also, In a cubic function, the highest power over the x variable(s) is 3. So, it is not a linear function.

Hence, we conclude that Yes, the relationship between x and y is a non-linear function.

Therefore, the 'last option' is correct.
