Question

4.

Classify the function as linear or quadratic and identify the quadratic, linear, and constant terms.

y = −3x^2 − 29x + 30

A. quadratic function; quadratic term: −3x^2; linear term: −29x; constant term: 30

B. linear function; linear term: −29x; constant term: 30

C. linear function; linear term: −26x; constant term: −24

D. quadratic function; quadratic term: 4x^2; linear term: −26x; constant term: −24

Answer 1

A. quadratic function; quadratic term: −3x^2; linear term: −29x; constant term: 30

Explanation:

this is a quadratic function

quadratic term is -3x^2 , linear = -29x and constant = + 30.

Answer:

Quadratic term = (-3x²)

Linear term = (-29x)

Constant term = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to classify the function as linear or quadratic.

Linear function ⇒ Is a function in which highest degree of variable is one.

Quadratic function ⇒ Is a function in which highest degree term or variable is 2.

Therefore, in the given function y = -3² - 29x + 30, (-3x²) is the highest degree term with the degreeof 2.

So the given function is quadratic.

In this function Quadratic term = (-3x²)

Linear term = (-29x)

Constant term = 30
