Quadratic Functions

Question 1 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

Select all of the following functions that are quadratic.

Answer
A
y = 2x2
B
3 = 2x2 – 8
C
y = –2 + 2x – 8
D
y + 3x = 2x2 – 8
E
y +3x2 = 2x + 3x2 – 8

Explanation

A function is quadratic when, after solving for y and simplifying, its highest power of x is 2. Choice A is y = 2x², so it is quadratic. In choice D, subtracting 3x gives y = 2x² − 3x − 8, which is also quadratic. Choice C and choice E simplify to linear expressions in x, and choice B does not define y.
