Looks like a typo. There should be something following the x^, usually, probably a 2.
that makes it a quadratic.
You can eliminate constant.
that leaves only linear or quadratic.
if the number following x^ is a 1, it's linear. if it's a 2 it's quadratic. If it's a zero, it's linear. If it's some other number, it's none of the above.
best guess is quadratic

Hello Katie, When you add exponents the powers increase. For example x+3x is 3x^2; i.e. 1+1 =2 Xs When an equation has _x^2 it is considered a quadratic equation. Hope this helps! D.S.07/18/21
