Answer:
B: f(x) = –7x2 – x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The biggest exponent in a quadratic function is a 2.
A. Is NOT the answer because it has an exponent of 3 (that's a cubic not a quadratic)
C. Is NOT the answer because it is linear, if you graph it, it's a line. The highest exponent is 1.
D. Is NOT the answer, because even though it shows a power of 2, the coefficient (the number next to it) is a zero, so that term would fall out of the equation and it would be linear like C.
So B: f(x) = –7x2 – x + 2 is your answer. Its highest exponent is two and if you graph it, it would make a parabola.
