Question

Martha wrote an example of a quadratic function for a homework assignment. The function she wrote is shown. f(x) = 5x3 + 2x2 + 7x – 3 What possible changes can Martha make to correct her homework assignment? Select two options.

Answer 1

1 and 2

Explanation:

Answer 2

The first term, 5x^3, can be eliminated.

The exponent on the first term, 5x^3, can be changed to a 2 and then combined with the second term, 2x^2

Explanation:

The highest degree allowed in a quadratic function is 2, so the third degree term (the first term) needs to be eliminated or changed. The change shown above is one of many possibilities.
