C)quadratic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This equation is quadratic because it has a degree of 2 (the highest exponent on the variable is 2). Linear equations have a degree of 1, and "other" equations could have a degree higher than 2 or contain non-variable terms such as trigonometric functions or logarithms.

Identify the equation y=−3x2+1 as linear, quadratic, or other. \text { Identify the equation } y = - 3 x ^ { 2 } + 1 \text { as linear, quadratic, or other. } Identify the equation y=−3x2+1 as linear, quadratic, or other.
