Identify Coefficients in the Quadratic Function y=x²

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.
