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

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
