Identify Coefficients in the Quadratic Equation: x²+4x-5=0

Question

a = coefficient of x²

b = coefficient of x

c = coefficient of the independent number

$x^2+4x-5=0$

What are the components of the equation?

00:00 These are the coefficients

00:03 The coefficient of X squared is A

00:06 The coefficient of X is B

00:11 and the natural number is C

00:16 and this is the solution to the question

The quadratic equation we have is $x^2 + 4x - 5 = 0$ .

We'll compare this with the general form of a quadratic equation: $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ .

1. Identify $a$ : The coefficient of $x^2$ in the given equation is $1$ . Therefore, $a = 1$ .

2. Identify $b$ : The coefficient of $x$ in the given equation is $4$ . Therefore, $b = 4$ .

3. Identify $c$ : The constant term in the given equation is $-5$ . Therefore, $c = -5$ .

Thus, the components of the equation are:

The correct answer to this problem, matching choice id 3, is:

$a=1$ $b=4$ $c=-5$

$a=1$ $b=4$ $c=-5$
