Quadratic Function Graphing Practice - Parameter a, b, c

The quadratic equation of the given problem is already arranged (that is, all the terms are found on one side and the 0 on the other side), thus we approach the given problem as follows;

In the problem, the question was asked: what is the value of the coefficient$b$in the equation?

Let's remember the definitions of coefficients when solving a quadratic equation as well as the formula for the roots:

The rule says that the roots of an equation of the form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$are :

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

That is the coefficient$b$is the coefficient of the term in the first power -$x$We then examine the equation of the given problem:

$$$3x^2+8x-5 =0$That is, the number that multiplies

$x$ is

$8$Consequently we are able to identify b, which is the coefficient of the term in the first power, as the number$8$,

Thus the correct answer is option d.

The quadratic equation is given as $4x^2 + 9x - 2$. This equation is in the standard form of a quadratic equation, which is $ax^2 + bx + c$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are coefficients.

• The term $4x^2$ indicates that the coefficient $a = 4$.
• The term $9x$ indicates that the coefficient $b = 9$.
• The constant term $-2$ indicates that the coefficient $c = -2$.

From this analysis, we can see that the coefficient $c$ is $-2$.

Therefore, the value of the coefficient $c$ in the equation is $-2$.

Let's determine the coefficients for the quadratic function given by $y = -2x^2 + 3x + 10$.

• Step 1: Identify $a$.
  The coefficient of $x^2$ is $-2$. Thus, $a = -2$.
• Step 2: Identify $b$.
  The coefficient of $x$ is $3$. Thus, $b = 3$.
• Step 3: Identify $c$.
  The constant term is $10$. Thus, $c = 10$.

Comparing these coefficients to the provided choices, the correct answer is:

$a = -2, b = 3, c = 10$ .

Therefore, the correct choice is Choice 4.

To solve this problem, let's follow these steps:

• Step 1: Recognize the standard form of a quadratic equation.
• Step 2: Match the given function to the standard form.
• Step 3: Identify each coefficient $a$, $b$, and $c$.

Now, let's work through these steps:

Step 1: The standard form of a quadratic function is $y = ax^2 + bx + c$. Our goal is to identify $a$, $b$, and $c$.

Step 2: We are given the function $y = x^2$. This can be aligned with the standard form as $y = 1 \cdot x^2 + 0 \cdot x + 0$.

Step 3: By comparing the given function $y = x^2$ with the standard form, we can deduce:
- The coefficient of $x^2$ is 1, so $a = 1$.
- The linear term coefficient is missing, which implies $b = 0$.
- There is no constant term, so $c = 0$.

Therefore, the coefficients are $a = 1, b = 0, c = 0$, corresponding to choice 1.

Here we have a quadratic equation.

A quadratic equation is always constructed like this:

$y = ax²+bx+c$

Where a, b, and c are generally already known to us, and the X and Y points need to be discovered.

Firstly, it seems that in this formula we do not have the C,

Therefore, we understand it is equal to 0.

$c = 0$

a is the coefficient of X², here it does not have a coefficient, therefore

$a = 1$

$b= 10$

is the number that comes before the X that is not squared.
