Question

3.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. quadratic function; quadratic term: 6x2; linear term: x; constant term: −12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation

The degree of the given polynomial is 2.

Hence, the function is quadratic.

The term with exponent 2 on x is called the quadratic term. The term with exponent  1 on x is called linear and the term without any variable is a constant term.

Therefore, we have

Quadratic term= 6x^2

Linear term= x

Constant term= -12

Answer:

  A. quadratic function; quadratic term: 6x²; linear term: x; constant term: −12

Step-by-step explanation:

The squared term (6x^2) is also called the "quadratic" term. The term with x to the first power (no exponent) is the "linear" term. The term with no variable at all is the "constant" term.

It should be no mystery that the quadratic term is 6x^2; the linear term is x; and the constant term is -12.

As with much of algebra, this is about vocabulary and pattern recognition.
