How do you know if a equation is a quadratic one?
You know an equation is quadratic by looking at the degree of the highest power in the equation. If it is 2, then it is quadratic. so any equation or polynomial of the form: ax2 +bx+c=0 where a is NOT 0 and a, b and c are known as the quadratic coefficients is a quadratic equation.
Do quadratic equations have exponents?
Yes. A quadratic is a second degree equation, one in which the highest power is 2 (i.e. squared).
The quadratic formula cannot be used to solve an equation if a term in the equation has a degree higher than?
Two.
What is the difference between a polynomial and a quadratic equation?
A quadratic equation is of degree 2, that is, the highest power is 2. A polynomial is not an equation, however, you can convert it into an equation by setting the polynomial equal to zero for example. A polynomial EQUATION can be of any degree: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
What statement must be true of an equation before you can use the quadratic formula to find the solutions?
The quadratic formula can be used to find the solutions of a quadratic equation - not a linear or cubic, or non-polynomial equation. The quadratic formula will always provide the solutions to a quadratic equation - whether the solutions are rational, real or complex numbers.
The quadratic formula can be used to solve an equation only if the equation contains no term whose degree is higher than?
2
Why use quadratic formula?
Using the quadratic formula to solve any quadratic equation is the best way of getting around it because the quadratic formula is "the opposite of b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac all divided by 2a. This formula only works with trinomials and second degree equaitons. If the equation is a binomial, then put in a placeholer (0) and substitute them into the equation.
The quadric formula can be used to solve an equation only if the highest degree in the equation is?
2.
A quadratic polynomial is a third-degree polynomial?

What is the difference between a linear quadratic and a quadratic quadratic?
There is no quadratic equation that is 'linear'. There are linear equations and quadratic equations. Linear equations are equations in which the degree of the variable is 1, and quadratic equations are those equations in which the degree of the variable is 2.
Quadratic equation definition?
An equation of the second degree, meaning it contains at least one term that is squared.
Why is a quadratic function a function of x having the highest degree 2?
It follows from the definition of a quadratic funtcion.
A condition that must be met before you can use the quadratic formula to find the solutions?
The equation must be written such that the right side is equal to zero. And the resulting equation must be a polynomial of degree 2.
A quadratic polynomial has a degree of 2?
True Yes. Although the term 'quad' stands for four, a quadratic equation is a polynomial of second degree.
An equation with a degree of 2?
An equation with a degree of 2 is called a quadratic equation. At least one term in the equation will have a variable raised to the second power, e.g. x²
What is the degree of a polynomial equation is based on?
The highest power in the equation.
Why quadratic equation is called quadratic?
In mathematics, a quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree. The general form is Where x represents a variable, and a, b, and c, constants, with a ≠ 0. (If a = 0, the equation becomes a linear equation.) The constants a, b, and c, are called respectively, the quadratic coefficient, the linear coefficient and the constant term or free term. The term "quadratic" comes from quadratus, which is the Latin word for "square." Quadratic equations can be solved by factoring, completing the square, graphing, Newton's method, and using the quadratic formula (given below). One common use of quadratic equations is computing trajectories in projectile motion. Because it is in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0
What are quadratic equations?
In mathematics, a quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree. The general form is : where a≠ 0. (For if a = 0, the equation becomes a linear equation.) The letters a, b, and c are called coefficients: the quadratic coefficient a is the coefficient of x2, the linear coefficient b is the coefficient of x, and c is the constant coefficient, also called the free term or constant term. Quadratic equations are called quadratic because quadratus is Latin for "square"; in the leading term the variable is squared. A quadratic equation with real or complex coefficients has two (not necessarily distinct) solutions, called roots, which may or may not be real, given by the quadratic formula: : where the symbol "±" indicates that both : and are solutions.
Its y equals 4x3 plus 4x2 a quadratic equation?
Interpreting this equation as y=4x3+4x2 This is not a quadratic equation. By definition, a quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of order two, meaning it is composed only of coefficients multiplied by x's raised to any exponential power of maximum 2. The most that any of the exponents in the equation can be is 2. Since this equation has a term of 4x3, it is not quadratic since this term has an exponent of 3. This means that the equation is of degree three. This equation is a cubic equation.
Real life application of a quadratic function?
I think its the dropping of a golf ball off a building! This is because the formula for velocity when something is dropped is a quadratic formula, that is of degree 2.
What is the highest exponent in a polynomial?
That varies from polynomial to polynomial. Whatever the highest exponent is is called the "degree", so a quadratic like x2 + 2x + 8 has degree 2.
