Identify the coefficients based on the following equation
To solve this problem, we'll proceed with the following steps:
Now, let's execute these steps:
Step 1: The given function is already .
Step 2: The standard form of a quadratic equation is .
Step 3: Upon comparison, we can observe:
Therefore, the solution is . This corresponds to choice 1.
What is the value of the coefficient \( c \) in the equation below?
\( 4x^2+9x-2 \)
Standard form puts terms in decreasing power order. This ensures you match the right coefficient to the right variable power every time!
If there's no term, then a = 0 and it's actually a linear equation, not quadratic. Always check the highest power to determine the equation type.
Remember: a = coefficient of (highest power), b = coefficient of (middle power), c = constant term (no variable).
Keep the negative sign! In , the constant term is -4, not just 4. Signs are part of the coefficient value.
Yes! Just reorder the terms by decreasing powers first: term, then term, then constant. Then match coefficients to standard form.
