Question

What type of polynomial is $x^2-2x+1$?

Answer 1

Polynomial.

A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree two and is of the form $f\left(x\right)=a{x}^2+bx+c$ where $a,b$ and $c$ are real numbers, $a\ne 0$.

The given polynomial $x^2-2x+1$ is a second degree polynomial, as power of $x$ is $2$.

So, the given polynomial is a quadratic polynomial.

Hence, the given polynomial is a quadratic polynomial.
