Question

Which of the following is a situation in which an equation cannot be solved using the quadratic formula?

A.) The coefficient of the x^2 term is zero

B.) The right hand side of the equation is zero

C.) The coefficient of the x term is zero

D.) The degree of the polynomial is 2

 

 

Answer 1

Quadratic function form is f(x) = ax² + bx + c

Where a, b , c are real numbers and a not equal to zero.

Therefore, if the coefficient of the x² term is zero, then the equation cannot be solved using quadratic formula.

Option A is correct.
