Is #y = 2x^4 + 9x + 17# a quadratic function?

Answer 1

No, it's called a quartic.

Quadratic sounds like something to do with #4# - the order of the highest term here, but it's about squares i.e. the highest order term would be #ax^2# for some constant #a#.

The graphs of quartics can look like quadratics too, a symmetrical sort of U shape, but they can also have a sort of W shape.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
