Classify as either a quadratic equation, a linear equation, or neither.
f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 3
Quadratic
Neither
Linear

every quadratic has one of the power of x as x^2
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
quad ans A

any function of the form y= ax^2 + bx +c is known as quadratic equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it's a??
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
why are u getting confused @keridavis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have no idea. I'm lost
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
yeah !!!!

where are u getting lost
OpenStudy (anonymous):
linear equations are usually in this form:
y = mx + b
quadratics: y = ax^2 + bx + c
exponential: y = a^x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wouldn't it be linear???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
of exponetial/
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
linear function is an equation of a line not any curve
y= mx + c is an equation of line and linear originate from line , x has power 1

@zepdrix
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
for any function to be an exponential a constant number has its power as x
example,
y = 2^x ,
y= 5 ^x ,
y = a^x where a is some constant like this @keridavis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i still think linear...
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
i told you what linear means linear means a line and equation of line is y = ax +b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes so it shoudl be because it's x=x+4

while equations like y = ax^2 + bx +c are quadratic equations
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
what is x = x+4
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
f(x) equals the value of y

and f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 3 =>
a=1, b=2, c=3 ,
satisfy it in f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c which means quadratic equation
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
@keridavis
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 3}\) is just like ax²+bx+c
So which option do you pick ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I say Linear
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
and f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 3 =>
a=1, b=2, c=3 ,
satisfy it in f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c which means quadratic equation @keridavis
