Step : Finding whether the given equation is quadratic or not :
The standard form of a quadratic equation
is ax2+bx+c=0, where a,b and c are all real numbers and a≠0.
Given equation is
(3x−1)2=5(x+8)
⇒9x2+1−6x=5x+40
[∵(a−b)2=a2+b2−2ab]
⇒9x2−6x−5x−40+1=0
⇒9x2−11x−39=0;
The given equation is of the form ax2+bx+c=0
∴ Given equation is a quadratic equation.
