Is this function linear or nonlinear? Why? Provide your response using at least one complete sentence. y=3x5+4x3

(short and easy to understand sentence)

1 answer

The function \( y = 3x^5 + 4x^3 \) is nonlinear because it contains terms with powers of \( x \) greater than one, specifically \( x^5 \) and \( x^3 \).
