Q4.) Quadratic equation:

Sigh... NO that is not "quadratic" and it not an equation of any type. If you really do not know what a "quadratic equation" is, you need to talk to your teacher.
 
You also have not given any indication of what you want to do with this expression, nor have you shown any effort in your post (which could have at least given us the smallest of indications for the first grievance)...
