1 Answer

4 votes

Answer: The equation x^2+3x+4 is a quadratic equation.

A quadratic equation is a second-degree polynomial equation in one variable (usually x), where the highest power of the variable is squared (x^2).

In this case, x^2+3x+4 is a second-degree polynomial with the variable x raised to the power of 2. Therefore, it is a quadratic equation.

Linear equations, on the other hand, are first-degree polynomial equations in one variable, where the variable is not raised to any power higher than 1.
