I have a question. I am so lost in algebra and I need to know if 3x^2=5 is quadratic? (That's 3x squared equals 5)
yes, it is a quadratic.
When your highest power is of degree 2, such as ?x^2, you have a quadratic.
thanks, I wanted to make sure that i had it right.
Yes, the equation 3x^2 = 5 is a quadratic equation. In algebra, a quadratic equation is an equation of degree 2 where the highest power of the variable is a square term (x^2 in this case).
To determine if an equation is quadratic, you should look for the highest power of the variable. In this case, the highest power is x^2, which is a square term, making the equation quadratic.
Quadratic equations are often represented in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants. In your equation, a = 3, b = 0, and c = -5 (since we move -5 to the left side of the equation).
