Question

Consider the statements regarding non-linear functions.

Statement I: A function which are not straight lines are non-linear functions.

Statement II: Non-linear functions in form of $y=f\left(x\right)$ have atleast one term in which exponent of $x$ is other than $0$ or $1.$

• A. Both the statements are correct.
• B. Only one statement is correct.
• C. None of the statements are correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both the statements are correct.

A non-linear function is non-linear in nature.
It signifies that $y$ is porportional to some power of $x$ which is neither $0$ not $1.$
$\Rightarrow y\propto x^n+a{x}^b$
where $n\ne 1$ or $0.$
This is an example of a non-linear equation.
