Create an algebraic expression based on the following parameters:
To solve this problem, we will construct an algebraic expression using the given parameters in a quadratic function format.
The final algebraic expression, representing the given parameters in a quadratic form, is .
Therefore, the correct algebraic expression is .
What is the value of the coefficient \( c \) in the equation below?
\( 4x^2+9x-2 \)
The standard form is like a template for quadratic expressions. The letter a is always the coefficient of x², b is the coefficient of x, and c is the constant term that stands alone.
When you multiply any number by zero, you get zero! Since for any value of x, adding zero doesn't change the expression, so we can omit it completely.
If b ≠ 0, you'd keep the middle term! For example, if b = 3, your expression would be . The middle term only disappears when its coefficient is zero.
Think alphabetically: a comes first (with x²), b comes second (with x), and c comes last (by itself). Or remember: biggest power first - x² has the highest power, so its coefficient comes first.
While equals , standard form means writing terms in descending order by power: x² term first, then x term, then constant.
