Question

The degree of a nonlinear function is

• A. $1$
• B. $2$
• C. less than or equal to $2$
• D. greater than or equal to $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D greater than or equal to $2$

A function whose graph is not a line or part of a line is called as nonlinear function.

A nonlinear function has the degree as 2 or greater than 2, but not less than 2.

Example: $y=3x^2$
Highest power of $x$ in the given function is $2.$ So, it is a nonlinear function.
