Question

Which represents a quadratic function?

Answer 1

Please note:  the proper way to denote exponentiation is to use the symbol         " ^ "

So you'd have x^2 + 2x - 5, with "x^2" meaning "x squared."

This is the only function that has the 2nd power of x and is therefore a quadratic function.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\text{The quadratic function is }f(x)=x^2+2x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following functions

we have to choose the function which represent the quadratic function.

Quadratic function is the polynomial function of degree 2 which is of the form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

where a is not equal to 0.

Here, the only function

$f(x)=x^2+2x-5$

which is of degree 2 and of form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ where a is not equal to 0.

Hence, option 2 is correct.
