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

Question

(easy and simples to understand short sentence)

Answer 1

The function \( x^2 + y = 45 \) is nonlinear because it includes the term \( x^2 \), which indicates that the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \) cannot be expressed as a straight line.
