Answer

Given,

Equation : (x + 2)3 = 2x(x2 - 1)

⇒ x3 + 23 + 3 × x × 2(x + 2) = 2x3 - 2x

⇒ x3 + 8 + 6x(x + 2) = 2x3 - 2x

⇒ x3 + 8 + 6x2 + 12x = 2x3 - 2x

⇒ 2x3 - x3 - 6x2 - 2x - 8 = 0

⇒ x3 - 6x2 - 2x - 8 = 0.

The above equation is not of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0.

Hence, the above equation is not a quadratic equation.
