Question

Which of the following is not an example of a quadratic function?

1. f(x)= (3x-2)(4x +7) 2. f(x) = (2x-1)2
3. f(x)= -7x²+8X
4. f(x)= 8x4–3x+5x2​

Answer 1

4. f(x) = 8x^4 – 3x + 5x^2​

Explanation:

In choices 1., 2., and 3., each function is a 2nd degree function since the term with the highest degree has an exponent of 2 on x. In choice 4., the function is a 4th degree function since there is a term with x^4, and that is the highest exponent on x.

Answer: 4. f(x) = 8x^4 – 3x + 5x^2​
