In B 5^2 = 25. There is no x anywhere.
In C f(x) = 2/x is a function of a reciprocal, not a quadratic.
In D f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 5 is a cubic. A cubic is not a quadratic. The highest power of a quadratic is x^2
That leaves A. When you expand the brackets, you get
3(x^2 + 3x- 4x - 12)
2(x^2 - x - 12) when you remove the brackets you get
2x^2 - 2x - 24. The highest power of x is x^2. This is your quadratic.
A<<<< answer.
If 7 × 2 = 14, then 14 + 14 = 28. So, 7 times 4 equals to 28. You can add 14 + 14 or multiply 7 and 4 to get your answer.
It would be B. because if you put the numbers on a number line, you notice that -14 is further down than -3 since -3 is closer to 0, so -14 is less than -3
