Question

Is this function linear or nonlinear? Why? Provide your response using at least one complete sentence. x2+y=45

Answer 1

The function \(x^2 + y = 45\) is nonlinear because it contains the term \(x^2\), which is a quadratic term, indicating that the relationship between \(x\) and \(y\) does not form a straight line when graphed.
