Q1 of 168 Page 7

Which of the following is a quadratic polynomial?

(i) 2 x2+1 (ii) x2 + (iii) (iv)

(i) On solving the equations,


2x2 + 1 = 0


Re-writing in the format of ax2 + bx + c = 0


(2)x2 + (0)x + 1 = 0


a = 2 b = 0 & c = 1.


So, following the ideal pattern of a quadratic polynomial 2x2 + 1 is a quadratic polynomial.


(ii) On solving the equations,



it can’t be re-written in the format of ax2 + bx + c = 0


So, following the ideal pattern of a quadratic polynomial, x2+ is not a quadratic polynomial.


(iii) On solving the equations,



it can’t be re-written in the format of ax2 + bx + c = 0


So, following the ideal pattern of a quadratic polynomial, is not a quadratic polynomial.


(iv) On solving the equations,


3√(x2+ 1) + x = 0


it can’t be re-written in the format of ax2 + bx + c = 0


So, following the ideal pattern of a quadratic polynomial, 3√(x2+ 1) + x = 0 is not a quadratic polynomial.
