Answer:

nonlinear

Explanation:

What makes a function linear? There is only one kind of equation that produces a linear function, and it has the form

y=mx+b, where m and b are constants. Examples of this are: y=2x+3 and y=−4.

All other functions where x has an exponent that is higher than 1, e.g.
x^(2),
x^(3)and so on, are nonlinear functions
