Q1 of 65 Page 4

I write the quadratic polynomials from the following polynomials by understanding it.

i. x2 – 7x + 2


ii. 7x5 – x(x + 2)


iii. 2x (x+5) + 1


iv. 2x – 1

(i) The given equation is x2 – 7x + 2


This equation is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a,b,c are real numbers as a = 1 which is not equal to 0,b = -7 and c = 2.


Hence, this equation is a quadratic equation.


(ii) The given equation is 7x5 – x(x + 2)


This equation is not of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a,b,c are real numbers as the highest degree of x in the equation is 5.


Hence, this equation is not a quadratic equation.


(iii) The given equation is 2x (x+5) + 1



Therefore, this equation is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a,b,c are real numbers as a = 2 which is not equal to 0,b = 10 and c = 1.


Also the highest degree of x in the equation is 2.


Hence, this equation is a quadratic equation.


(iv) The given equation is 2x-1


This is a linear equation with highest degree of x is 1.


This is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a,b,c are real numbers but here a = 0 which does not satisfy the condition of quadratic equations.


Hence, this equation is not a quadratic equation.
