What is a nonlinear function?

Back

A nonlinear function is a function that does not form a straight line when graphed. Examples include quadratic and exponential functions.

What does it mean for a function to exhibit growth?

Back

A function exhibits growth when its output increases as the input increases. This is typically seen in exponential functions.
