Question

What type of function is y=x^2+6x+5

Answer 1

Hello.

$\mathrm{y=x^{2} +6x+5}$ is a quadratic function, because it has an $\mathrm{x^{2} }$ (x squared, or x times x) term.

Here's what linear functions look like:

$\mathrm{y=mx+b}$

A graph of a linear function is a line.

Quadratic functions look like so:

$\mathrm{y=ax^{2} +bx+c}$

A graph of a quadratic function is a parabola.

Therefore, the given function is a quadratic function.

I hope this helps.

Have a nice day.
