Answer:
Explanation:
If a(x) and b(x) are linear functions, then the term cx (where c is a constant) will be part of the makeup of each. Examples: a(x) = x - 2; b(x) = 3x + 5.
Multiplying together two binomial linear functions such as these will result in a quadratic equation. (x - 2)(3x + 5) = 3x^2 - 6x + 5x - 10 = 3x^2 - x -10 is an example.
