Question

F(x) = (x + 5)²

Which type of function is shown?
O Linear function
Quadratic function
Square-root function
O Exponential function

Answer 1

Quadratic Function

Explanation:

f(x) is a quadratic function because when distributed you get:

`x^2+10x+25`. A quadratic function is a polynomial with a degree (power) of two or more.

The other options are eliminated because:

A linear function has a variable with a power of 1 or no variable at all.

A square-root function has a leading variable with a power of 1/2.

An exponential function has a term to the power of a variable.
