Question

Which represents a quadratic function?

f(x) = −8x3 − 16x2 − 4x

f (x) = x 2 + 2x − 5

f(x) = + 1

f(x) = 0x2 − 9x + 7

Answer 1

f (x) = 3/4 x ^2 + 2x − 5

Explanation:

Answer 2

A quadratic function is one of the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are numbers with a not equal to zero. In the given question, the only function that satisfies the condition of a quadratic function is f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 5 and thus is the correct answer to the question.
