Introduction to Quadratic Functions

Question 3 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

Which equation represents a quadratic function with a leading coefficient of 2 and a constant term of –3?

Answer
A
f(x) = 2x3 – 3
B
f(x) = –3x2 – 3x + 2
C
f(x) = –3x3 + 2
D
f(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 3

Explanation

A quadratic function has a highest power of x equal to 2. Its leading coefficient is the number multiplying x², and its constant term is the standalone number. In f(x) = 2x² + 3x – 3, the leading coefficient is 2 and the constant term is –3, so choice D is correct.
