Answer 1

A quadratic equation is defined as an equation of the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are constants, and \( a \neq 0 \).

Among the given options, the equation that qualifies as a quadratic equation is:

**y = 4x² + 7**

The other options are not quadratic equations:
- \( y = 4x \) is linear.
- \( y = 5x - 3 \) is linear.
- \( y = 2x^3 \) is cubic.

Therefore, the correct choice is **y = 4x² + 7**.
