Question

Is the function quadratic? Explain.

y + 5 = 2x^2

Answer 1

Check for the highest power in this equation..

A Quadratic Function is that in which highest power also called Degree is 2..

Answer 2

Do you think it's a quadratic? Yes? No?

Answer 3

Huh ? @waterineyes
& Yes ?? I'm not sure.

Answer 4

well we have an x^2 term so that's a big indication that it is

since there are no x^3 terms, x^4 terms, etc

this confirms that it is indeed a quadratic

Answer 5

the rule is:

if there is an x^2 term and there are no other terms with larger exponents, then it's a quadratic

Answer 6

so something like y = x^2 + 5 is a quadratic

but something like y = x^2 + 5x^3 is not

Answer 7

So if it a Quadratic that mean it would beable to be written in the form y = ax2 + bx + c form ?

Answer 8

exactly

Answer 9

okay(: thank you

Answer 10

y + 5 = 2x^2

y = 2x^2 - 5

y = 2x^2 + 0x + (-5)

which is now in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c where a=2, b = 0 and c = -5
