Question

A cube has a side length of s meters. The volume of the cube is

represented by the expression s^3. The volume of the cube is a function
of the side length. Does this situation represent a linear or nonlinear
function? Explain.

Answer 1

non linear

Explanation:

This situation can be represented as y=x^3 where y is the volume of the cube x is the length of its side. We find that the slope for this curve(change in y/change in x) is not constant for all points on the curve. Thus it is a non linear function.
