This new technique is used to expand significantly the set of quadratic polynomials whose local zeta functions have been calculated explicitly. Local zeta functions for arbitrary quadratic polynomials over p-adic fields with p odd are presented, as well as for polynomials over unramified 2-adic fields of the form <span id="mmlsi4" class="mathmlsrc"><span class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0001870816311549&_mathId=si4.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0001870816311549&_rdoc=1&_issn=00018708&md5=e33c28fd13bf65c5c9dcad433e5e4cc5" title="Click to view the MathML source">Q+Lspan><span class="mathContainer hidden"><span class="mathCode">span>span>span> where Q is a quadratic form and L is a linear form such that Q and L have disjoint variables. For a quadratic form over an arbitrary p-adic field with odd p, this new technique makes clear precisely which of the three candidate poles are actual poles.
