Which of the following is not the graph of a quadratic polynomial?
Answer. [D]
Solution. Polynomial : It is an expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contains different powers of the same variable(s) and a quadratic polynomial is polynomial of degree 2.
If p(x) is quadratic polynomial then there are almost 2 values of x exists called roots.
Hence, the graph of p(x) cuts the x-axis almost 2 times.
But here we see that in option (D) the curve cuts the x-axis at 3 times
Hence, graph (D) is not a graph of a quadratic polynomial.
