Determine whether each function is linear or quadratic. Identify the quadratic, linear, and constant terms of the function y = (x - 2)(x + 5)

Answer 1

quadratic

y=(x-2)(x+5) = x^2 +3x -10

a 2nd degree polynomial is quadraatic

multiplying the two linear factors gives an x^2 term, which is quadratic

3x is the linear term

constant term is -2(5) = -10
