Answer:

a person's height as a function of time

Explanation:

You want an example of a non-linear function.

Nonlinear

We use linear functions to approximate some behaviors over a limited range. However, almost anything in the real world does not and cannot change in linear fashion "forever."

Some examples of functions that are nonlinear are ...

  • a person's height versus time
  • day length versus day of the year
  • atmospheric pressure versus altitude (at a place and time)
  • ground temperature versus depth
