Kind of mathematical equation (9)

I believe the answer is:

quadratic

(Other definitions for quadratic that I've seen before include "Second-power equation" , "Sort of equation in algebra" , "Mathematical expression containing a variable raised to the second power" , "Type of algebraic equation" , "(In maths) a type of equation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
