Question

What is the minimum number of terms and maximum number of terms can a quadratic equation have?
​​​​​​

Answer 1

Quadratic equation can be written as ax^2 +bx +c Quadratic equation means highest exponent is 2 so maximum number of terms are 3 which are terms with exponent 2 (ax^2) term with exponent 1 (bx) constant term . (c) Since equation is qudratic so a cannot be zero and only term ax^2 can show that its quadratic. so minimum number of terms equals 1
