Question 466401: I can't seem to get this... any help would be appreciated...
Classify the function as a linear, quadratic, or exponential.

f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 6)


A)

Linear

B)

Quadratic

C)

Exponential

Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your equation is:
f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 6)
multiply those factors together and you get:
x^2 + 4x - 12
that looks a lot like a quadratic equation.
a graph of that equation is shown below:
