Question 25 • Fall 24 GMS Advanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections B
Is the equation x9 – 5x3 + 6 = 0 quadratic in form? Explain why or why not.
Answer
Answer:
No. It is not quadratic in form because (x³)² = x⁶, not x⁹, so the variable part of the first term is not the square of the variable part of the second term.
