Which Model is Linear in case of Linear Regression?

A model like:

is surely linear

A model like:

is also linear.

Even though the relationship between X and Y is quadratic


A model like:

is not linear.

However, taking logarithms on both sides, it can be transformed into linear model.

However, not all non-linear functions can be transformed to have a linear model. Some functions
may never yield a linear model even after transformation.
