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

f(x) = (3x + 2)(−6x − 3)

A. linear function; linear term: −18x2; constant term: −6

B. quadratic function; quadratic term: 6x2; linear term: 24x; constant term: −6

C. linear function; linear term: −21x; constant term: −6

D. quadratic function; quadratic term: −18x2; linear term: −21x; constant term: −6

Answer: The answer is letter B or letter D

D. quadratic function; quadratic term: −18x2; linear term: −21x; constant term: −6

Step-by-step explanation: Find the degree of the function to determine if linear. f ( x ) = − 18 x 2 − 21 x − 6 is not a linear function

Expand the polynomial using the FOIL method. f ( x ) = − 18 x 2 − 21 x − 6
