contents In this paper, we present sufficient conditions ensuring that the sum of the image of quadratic functions and the nonnegative orthant is convex. The hidden convexity of the trust-region problem with linear inequality constraints is established under a newly proposed assumption, which is compared with the previous one in [{\it Math. Program. 147, 171--206, 2014}]. We also provide a complete proof of the hidden convexity of a system of two quadratic functions in [{\it J. Glob. Optim. 56, 1045--1072, 2013}]. Furthermore, necessary and sufficient conditions for the S-lemma concerning systems of quadratic inequalities are investigated. Finally, we derive necessary and sufficient global optimality conditions and strong duality results for quadratic programming.
