Question

how will you know if the given equation is Quadratic or Linear?

Answer 1

@PatriciaMae any equation having the highest power of x as 2 is a quadratic
on the other hand linear equations have just terms of x ( the highest power is 1)
Example
\[x^2+4x+6 \to \text{Quadratic}\]
\[4x+6 \to \text{Linear}\]

Answer 2

quadratic is X^2 while linear is simply x.

Answer 3

example x^2+4x+4=O quadratic
x+4=O linear

Answer 4

@PatriciaMae do you get this?

Answer 5

yes, thanks :) but wait. is 3x/2-x^2=1 is Linear?

Answer 6

Nope, it has the highest power of x as 2, so it's a quadratic

Answer 7

quadratic

Answer 8

oh okay

Answer 9

great i had the same question in my mind now it's clear!!! :)
