Question

Which statement best describes the equation x5 + x3 – 14 = 0?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.The equation is not quadratic in form because it cannot be rewritten as a second-degree polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is any equation that can be rearranged in standard form as :

ax² + bx + c = 0

Where a, b and c are coefficients and a ≠ 0.

Since for a quadratic equation, the power of x is a non negative integer, it is considered as a polynomial. A quadratic equation is a second-degree polynomial (i.e the gratest power of x is two).

The equation  is not a quadratic equation because it cannot be rewritten as a second-degree polynomial.

Answer 2

Answer:

B). The equation is quadratic in form because the difference of the exponent of the lead term and the exponent of the middle term is 2.
