pick the quadratic equations. a. x^3- 2x^2+ 1 = 0 b. 2x- 1 = 0 c. 5x^2+ 15x= 0 d. 6x- 1 = 4x+ 7

mathslover (mathslover):

remember that .. the general form of a quadratic equation is : \[\LARGE{ax^2+bx+c=0}\]

mathslover (mathslover):

c is constant hence it can be 0 also .. @helpme9283 can you compare that .. with the given options and tell ME that what you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm okay

mathslover (mathslover):

try to do .. if you cant get what i told .. then no problem i will try to explain you with another diff. way ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think a and c is a quadratic expressions

mathslover (mathslover):

see .. in a quadratic equation the degree (highest power of the variable ) is 2 .. but in a) it is 3

OpenStudy (neo92):

c is okay.. but again have a luk at the index of x in (a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm okay and i'm not sure about d too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it a and d? maybe?

OpenStudy (neo92):

in (d) thre r no x^2 terms. so it cannot be a qudratic eqn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so only c?

mathslover (mathslover):

hence it is c)

mathslover (mathslover):

yes..@helpme9283
