By looking at the degree of the polynomials, we conclude that the option that is not linear is option C.
<h3>Which of the following functions is not a linear function?</h3>A polynomial is an expression of the form:
Where all the exponents are natural numbers.
We define the degree of a polynomial as the largest exponent, and we define a linear function as a polynomial of degree 1.
So a linear function is of the form:
Now, if you look at option C, you can see that the degree of that polynomial is 2. So that is not a linear function.
Then the correct option is C.

Using the Factor Theorem, the polynomial is given by:
- The graph is sketched at the end of the answer.
The <em>Factor Theorem</em> states that a polynomial function with roots is given by:
In which a is the leading coefficient.
In this problem, the roots are:
- Root of -4 with multiplicity 4, hence
.
- Root of -1 with multiplicity 3, hence
.
- Root of 5 with multiplicity 6, hence
Then:
- Positive leading coefficient, hence
.
- 13th degree, so it is odd.
Then:
At the end of the answer, an sketch of the graph is given.
