In a linear inequality the variable is only present raised to the first power (which is usually not explicitly shown). In a quadratic the square of the variable is present (or implied).

The square can be implied in an inequality such as x + 1/x < 6 (x not 0)

This is equivalent to x2 - 6x + 1 < 0

How are quadratic inequalities different from linear inequalities?

A linear inequality is all of one side of a plane. A quadratic inequality is either the inside of a parabola or the outside.


How can the change in x affect the change in y in a inequality?

The answer depends on the nature of the inequality: whether it is linear, quadratic or has some other functional form.


Can you tell how a quadratic equation can become linear equation?

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.


When can you use linear quadratic functions?

There are linear functions and there are quadratic functions but I am not aware of a linear quadratic function. It probably comes from the people who worked on the circular square.

What is the relation quadratic equation to linear equation?

The derivative of a quadratic function is always linear (e.g. the rate of change of a quadratic increases or decreases linearly).


What is the difference between a linear and quadratic function?

A linear function is a line where a quadratic function is a curve. In general, y=mx+b is linear and y=ax^2+bx+c is quadratic.

Is 3x plus 27 equals 8 a quadratic function?

No it is a linear one. X^2 = quadratic, x = linear. So if the equation doesn't have an x squared, then it is not quadratic.


What is quadratic inequality in one variables?

A quadratic inequality in x is in the standard form of ax^2+bx+c(&gt;or&lt;)d. Ex. 3x^2+5x+1&gt;4
