Question

What is the difference between a quadratic equation and a quadratic polynomial ??


No spamming❌❌​

Answer 1

Answer:

A quadratic equation is made for the purpose of solving for a specific variable and so it will the equation will always be equal to a number. For example: 0 = 10x(squared) + 4

A quadratic function is made for the purpose of graphing and so it will either be set to be equal to f(x) or y.

For example: f(x) = 10x(squared) + 4x

Another example: y = 10x(squared) + 4x

Also, both a quadratic function and a quadratic equation can have x to the second power.

In addition, the equation does help you graph because after you solve for all of the variables, you can put them into the function and then graph it.

So lastly, I think the difference between a function and an equation lies in what it has been set equal to, and in the purpose (whether it be to solve, or to graph)

Answer 2

Answer:

The general form of a quadratic equation is whereas the general form of a quadratic equation is . a polynomial when equated to zero or some value becomes an equation.
