Question

Give an example of a nonlinear function. You can describe this function in one or more of the following ways: with a table, graph, or equation. Be sure to specify what are the inputs (the independent variable) and what are the outputs (the dependent variable).

Answer 1

y = x^2.

Explanation:

This is nonlinear because, although it is a polynomial, its highest exponent is 2, not 1.
