After simplification, which of the following equations does not remain a quadratic equation in x?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \((x+1)^2=x^2+4x\)
In option C, expanding gives \(x^2+2x+1=x^2+4x\). The \(x^2\) terms cancel, leaving \(2x-1=0\), which is linear. Exam tip: simplify fully and then check the highest power of x.
