Answer: It is a polynomial function of degree 2 and whose graph is a parabola.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition a quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2 and whose graph is a parabola.
The Standard form of a quadratic function is:
[tex]y= ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]
Where "a", "b" and "c" are real numbers ([tex]a\neq0[/tex])
The Vertex form of a quadratic function is:
[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]
Where the point (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
The Intercept form of a quadratic function is:
[tex]y=a(x-p)(x-q)[/tex]
Where "p" and "q" are the x-intercepts.
