anonymous · Answer

How many terms are there 1 or 2 or 3 tell me first??

anonymous · Answer

3

anonymous · Answer

So apply this one:

Binomial means having two terms..

Since it has 3 so first option gets cancel...

anonymous · Answer

What is here the highest power??

anonymous · Answer

2

anonymous · Answer

Yes..
Polynomial having degree 2 is called Quadratic..
So last one is right..

anonymous · Answer

And here is x coefficient is -8 and not 8 also the coefficient of $x^2$ is 2..

So third option also gets cancel..

anonymous · Answer

so can it be evaluated at x= -1/3 ?

anonymous · Answer

Don't go this way..

anonymous · Answer

Evaluated means can we find the values by plugging -1/3 in the expression

yes we can evaluate this..

anonymous · Answer

I got 0

anonymous · Answer

How???

anonymous · Answer

Show me your work..

anonymous · Answer

even if you solved for the value of x, you will not get -1/3

anonymous · Answer

We have to evaluate this and not solve  @panlac01

anonymous · Answer

Simply put x = -1/3 in the expression:
What do you get tell me??
