h(x) = 3x(x – 2) – 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In a quadratic function, the greatest power of the variable is 2. To find out the greatest power, we need to write the function in a polynomial form.
p(x) = 2x(x^2 + 6) + 1 = 2x^3 + 12x + 1
The greatest power of x is 3, p(x) is not quadratic.
m(x) = -4(x+3) - 2 = -4x -12 - 2 = -4x - 14
The greatest power of x is 1, m(x) is not quadratic.
t(x) = –8x^2(x^2 – 6) + 1 = -8x^4 + 48x^2 + 1
The greatest power of x is 4, t(x) is not quadratic.
h(x) = 3x(x – 2) – 4 = 3x^2 - 6x - 4
The greatest power of x is 2, h(x) is quadratic.
