The cooking time for the chicken in the microwave when considering the quantity (same kind of chicken) is linear because increasing the number of chickens in the microwave will increase the cooking time proportionally.
The cooking time for the frozen chicken versus the unfrozen chicken is non-linear because the cooking time for the frozen chicken will be longer than the cooking time for the unfrozen chicken, regardless of the quantity.
Lets say your cooking chicken and your using a microwave it doesn't matter how many you put in there (does if they are different kinds but lets just say they are the same kind of chicken) the amount of time it takes to cook will always be the same. Now lets say one chicken is frozen and another one isn't these two will take different times to make.
