Answer:

An equation with a degree of 3 is called a cubic function.

Explanation:

Functions are named by their degree.

Examples:


y = ax^2 + bx + c is named a quadratic function because it has a degree of 2.

Similarly,
y = ax^3 + bx^2 +cx + d is named a cubic function because it has a degree of 3.
