Which equation is a quadratic equation? 5x − 2 = y y + 15x2 = (3x − 2)(5x + 7) y = 3x(5 − x) + 7 y + 2 = (3x2 + 10)(x − 1)

mathslover (mathslover):

what do you think which is a quadratic equation?

@simplybeyoutiful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

enjoy the link :-) it is really helpful

mathslover (mathslover):

Ok what is your guess @simplybeyoutiful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for simplicity if the highest power in an equation is 2, then it is a quadratic

mathslover (mathslover):

"highest power--> degree of the polynomial ( variable ) "

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2\] is a quadratic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, thanks math

mathslover (mathslover):

but not necessary as in the above options 15x^2 is there but -15x^2 is also there

mathslover (mathslover):

Hence we have to SIMPLIFY it fully

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it could be \[-x^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think its the second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simply, just go to the link that I posted :-)

mathslover (mathslover):

1st one nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its the 3rd

mathslover (mathslover):

2nd one also not :)

mathslover (mathslover):

yes!!!

mathslover (mathslover):

no..

mathslover (mathslover):

Hence the answer is ... 3rd one @simplybeyoutiful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thats what i was thinking
