    Which of the following represents a quadratic equation?
    Question

    Which of the following represents a quadratic equation?

    A.

    (x - 7)(x + 2) = (x - 2)(x)

    B.

    (x+3)(x4)=x2+2x+12(x + 3)(x - 4) = x^2 + 2x + 12

    C.

    (3x+4)x=3x2+16(3x + 4)x = 3x^2 + 16​​

    D.

    (x+2)(x+2)(x1)=x3+5x2+6x+4(x + 2)(x + 2)(x - 1) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x + 4​​

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Given quadratic equation are :

    (x7)(x+2)=(x2)(x)(x - 7)(x + 2) = (x - 2)(x)​​

    (x+3)(x4)=x2+2x+12(x + 3)(x - 4) =x^2 + 2x + 12​​

    (3x+4)x=3x2+16(3x + 4)x = 3x^2 + 16​​

    (x+2)(x+2)(x1)=x3+5x2+6x+4(x + 2)(x + 2)(x - 1) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x + 4​​

    Formula Used:

    For a equation to be a quadratic equation the degree of equation should be 2 and power of x cannot be in root or negative

    Standard quadratic equation is in the form of ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 +bx +c = 0​​

    Solution:

    Checking the given equation

    (x7)(x+2)=(x2)(x)(x - 7)(x + 2) = (x - 2)(x)​​

    x2+2x7x14=x22xx^2 +2x-7x -14 = x^2 - 2x​​

    3x-14

    The degree is 1 hence, it is a not quadratic equation

    (x+3)(x4)=x2+2x+12(x + 3)(x - 4) =x^2 + 2x + 12​​

    x24x+3x12=x2+2x+12x^2 -4x +3x -12 = x^2 + 2x + 12​​

    3x+24 = 0

    The degree is 1 hence, it is a not quadratic equation

    (3x+4)x=3x2+16(3x + 4)x = 3x^2 + 16​​

    3x2+4x=3x2+163x^2 +4x = 3x^2 +16​​

    4x=16

    The degree is 1 hence, it is a not quadratic equation

    (x+2)(x+2)(x1)=x3+5x2+6x+4(x + 2)(x + 2)(x - 1) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x + 4​​

    (x2+4x+4)(x1)=x3+5x2+6x+4(x^2 +4x +4)(x-1) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x + 4​​

    x3+4x2+4xx24x4=x3+5x2+6x+4x^3 +4x^2 +4x -x^2 -4x -4 = x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x + 4​​

    2x2+6x+8=02x^2 +6x +8 = 0​​

    The degree is 2 and it is in standard form hence it is a quadratic equation
