The first step is to show an example of the quadratic equation in question because the formula given is only the general form of a quadratic equation.
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 general form of a quadratic equation is ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a is not zero, a, b and c are constants. The discriminant is b2 - 4ac
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
Without an equality sign and no square variable the given terms can not be that of a quadratic equation.
