3.1.3 Quiz: Binomial Factors of Trinomials
Question 3 of 10
A quadratic polynomial has a degree of 2.
○ A. True
B. False



Answer :

To determine whether the statement "A quadratic polynomial has a degree of 2" is true or false, we need to understand what a quadratic polynomial is.

A quadratic polynomial is defined as a polynomial of the form [tex]\( ax^2 + bx + c \)[/tex], where:
- [tex]\( a \)[/tex], [tex]\( b \)[/tex], and [tex]\( c \)[/tex] are constants, with [tex]\( a \neq 0 \)[/tex].
- The highest power of the variable [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in this polynomial is 2.

The degree of a polynomial is defined as the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. For a quadratic polynomial, the highest power of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is 2. Therefore, a quadratic polynomial indeed has a degree of 2.

Given this explanation, the correct answer to the question is:
- A. True
