Question

Assuming an equation with one side as a squared variable expression and the other side as a numeric expression, which statement is correct?

1) The equation represents a quadratic equation
2) The equation represents a linear equation
3) The equation represents an exponential equation
4) The equation represents a logarithmic equation

Answer 1

The equation represents a quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement is 1) The equation represents a quadratic equation.

A quadratic equation has one side with a squared variable expression and the other side with a numeric expression. It can be written as ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants.

For example, the equation x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0 is a quadratic equation because it has a squared variable expression (x^2) and a numeric expression (3x - 4).
