Question

True or false A quadratic polynomial has a degree greater than 2

Answer 1

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

We have been given a statement. We are asked to determine whether our given statement is true or false.

Statement:

A quadratic polynomial has a degree greater than 2.

Since we know that a quadratic polynomial is in form:
`ax^2+bx+c=0`, where, highest degree of leading term is 2.

Since the degree of a quadratic polynomial can not be greater than 2, therefore, our given statement is false.

Answer 2

False

Explanation

A quadratic equation is one that has the variable raised to power 2.

This is what is termed as degree of the function. The general equation of a A quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0.

This polynomial has 2 solutions. Its degree is 2 but not greater than 2.
