quadratic, because the term with the highest order of degree is x^2.
with linear, the term with the highest order of degree is x.
with cubic, the term with the highest order of degree is x^3.
with exponential, the term with the highest order of degree is variable because the exponent is represented by x.
here's a graph with some examples.
your solution is quadratic.

here's a good reference for you.
