Answer:
x² - 3
This expression is not linear
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = unknown number
The sum of a number and negative 3
Sum = addition
We are adding the unknown number "x" and -3
So we have x + (-3) or just x - 3
The sum of that is multiplied by the unknown number
So we get ( x - 3 ) x
We can then simplify this expression to get x² - 3x
Any expression with an exponent is not linear. Refer to the attached image for more validation. A linear expression would create a straight line. The expression x² - 3x creates a curved line
