What is a Non-Linear Function?



A non-linear function is defined as a polynomial function of degree 2 or higher.


Did you notice that the linear function is a polynomial function of degree 1?


A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, defined by an equation of the form

y = a x2 + b x + c

The degree of a polynomial function is the degree of the polynomial itself.
