An equation consisting of polynomials where one of the terms contains the unknown value squared. This is known as a quadratic equation. Hello Mr E.Bs class in Sgoil Lionacleit!
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.
The first step not possible in solving an equation algebraically is not to provide an equation in the first place in which it appears to be so in this case.
A third-degree equation has, at most, three roots. A fourth-degree polynomial has, at most, four roots. APEX 2021
The "degree" is the highest power - in this case, the 3 in 4x3 (4 times to the third power).
