Question

What type of function is y=x^2+6x+5

Answer 1

Hello.

`\mathrm{y=x^(2) +6x+5}` is a quadratic function, because it has an
`\mathrm{x^(2) }` (x squared, or x times x) term.

Here's what linear functions look like:

`\mathrm{y=mx+b}`

A graph of a linear function is a line.

Quadratic functions look like so:

`\mathrm{y=ax^(2) +bx+c}`

A graph of a quadratic function is a parabola.

Therefore, the given function is a quadratic function.

I hope this helps.

Have a nice day.
