Identify the coefficients based on the following equation
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The given equation is . This equation is a linear equation of the form .
Step 2: We compare it with the quadratic form .
Step 3: Notice there is no term in the given equation, which means . The term involving is , which means . The constant term is , so .
Step 4: Based on the identified values , , and , the correct choice from the multiple-choice answers provided is choice 1: .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
What is the value of the coefficient \( c \) in the equation below?
\( 4x^2+9x-2 \)
In the standard quadratic form , every coefficient must have a value. When the term is missing, it means the coefficient is 0, not that it doesn't exist!
First, rearrange to standard order: . Now you can see that b = 3 (coefficient of x) and c = 6 (constant term).
The coefficients would be exactly the same! The order of terms doesn't change their values: a = 0, b = 3, c = 6 regardless of whether it's written as or .
Actually, when a = 0, it becomes a linear equation! But the question asks us to identify coefficients using the quadratic format, so we still use with a = 0.
Write out the full form: . This should match your original equation when you simplify (since ).
