Question

A quadratic and a curvilinear term are the same thing.
True
False

Answer 1

False, a curvilinear term is more broad, but quadratics have specific restrictions.

Answer 2

A curvilinear term in mathematics is "Consisting of, bounded by, or characterized by a curved line." However, the definition of a quadratic is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable
`0= ax^(2)+bx+c` with

`a\\eq 0`. A quadratic is a curvilinear term according to my definition, but a function like
`$x^(4)$` would also fit the definition of curvilinear. So, your answer is

False, a quadratic and a curvilinear term are not the same.
