is the highest exponent = 2 ?
if yes, then its quadratic
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do i figure that out
hartnn (hartnn):
do you know what an exponent is ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
hartnn (hartnn):
whats an exponent for
3x ?
-2 ?
-3x^2 ?
and which one is highest ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so -3x^2 makes the equation a quadratic equation then
hartnn (hartnn):
YES!
hartnn (hartnn):
thats correct :)

3x^2-2=-3x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it quadratic equation
hartnn (hartnn):
yeah, 3x^2 has exponent 2, which is highest :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how bout 3x^3+2x+3=0

highest exponent = 1 -----> linear
highest exponent = 2 -----> quadratic
highest exponent = 3 -----> cubic
hartnn (hartnn):
here, whats the highest xponent ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3
hartnn (hartnn):
yes, so its cubic
not quadratic
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh so if its higher than 2 it wont be a quadratic then

hartnn (hartnn):
correct
for quadratic, highest exponent must be 2 only
not less, not more
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok thanks that will help out alot now that i know that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
