Quadratic in Form Polynomials

Question 1 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)

Which equation is quadratic in form?

Answer
A
2(x + 5)3 + 8x + 5 + 6 = 0
B
x6 + 6x4 + 8 = 0
C
7x6 + 36x3 + 5 = 0
D
4x9 + 20x3 + 25 = 0

Explanation

An equation is quadratic in form when its powers can be written as 2, 1, and 0 using a substitution such as u = x³. In choice C, let u = x³; then x⁶ = u², so the equation becomes 7u² + 36u + 5 = 0, which is quadratic. The other choices do not have exponents that fit this pattern.
