Question

Which statement best describes the equation (x + 5)2 + 4(x + 5) + 12 = 0?

Answer 1

It would be a. The equation is quadratic in form because it can be rewritten as a quadratic equation with u substitution u = (x + 5). hope it helped

Answer 2

Answer:

 Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation:

$(x+5)^2+4(x+5)+12=0$

Since, the equation has degree that is highest power 2  so, it is quadratic

Therefore, option A is correct  that is the equation is quadratic in the form because it can be rewritten as a quadratic equation with u substitution u = (x + 5).

Option B is incorrect because it will not give fourth degree polynomial

Option C and D are incorrect because the equation is quadratic.
