a.) linear
b.) cubic
c.) quadratic
d.) exponential Found 2 solutions by ikleyn, Theo:Answer by ikleyn(52748) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
