The function \( Y = x^2 \) is a non-linear function.
A linear function can be represented in the form \( Y = mx + b \), where \( m \) and \( b \) are constants. Linear functions produce a straight line when graphed, while non-linear functions do not. Since the function \( Y = x^2 \) forms a parabola when graphed, it is classified as non-linear.
