Question

HS: Algebra 2A [M] (Prescriptive) (GP)/ 5 Quadratic Functions

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear, the linear term is -21x and the constant term is -20. Last option is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function:

$y = (x - 5)(5x + 4) - 5x^2$

First we have to simplify y, before solving the question:

$y = (x - 5)(5x + 4) - 5x$

Applying the distributive property:

$y = 5x^2 + 4x - 25x - 20 - 5x^2$

$y = 0x^2 - 21x - 20$

$y = -21x - 20$

No quadratic term, so it is linear.

The linear term is -21x and the constant term is -20.
