Question

Which of the following is a situation in which an equation cannot be solvedusing the quadratic formula?A. The coefficient of the x-term is zero.B. The coefficient of the x-term is zero.C. The degree of the polynomial expression is 2.D. The right-hand side of the equation is zero.SUBMPREVIOUS

Answer 1

The question asks us which of the options cannot be solved using the quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is used for solving quadratic equations and it is given below:

`\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \text{For a quadratic equation that looks like this:} \\ ax^2+bx+c=0 \\ \end{gathered}`

We will examine each option to see which will not provide a solution.

Option A:

The coefficient of x-term is zero. This means that
