Quadratic Function Practice Problems and Solutions

The quadratic equation of the given problem has already been arranged (that is, all the terms are on one side and 0 is on the other side) thus we can approach the question as follows:

In the problem, the question was asked: what is the value of the coefficient$c$in the equation?

Let's remember the definition of a coefficient when solving a quadratic equation as well as the formula for the roots:

The rule says that the roots of an equation of the form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$are:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

That is the coefficient
$c$is the free term - and as such the coefficient of the term is raised to the power of zero -$x^0$(Any number other than zero raised to the power of zero equals 1:

$x^0=1$)

Next we examine the equation of the given problem:

$$$3x^2+5x=0$Note that there is no free term in the equation, that is, the numerical value of the free term is 0, in fact the equation can be written as follows:

$3x^2+5x+0=0$and therefore the value of the coefficient$c$ is 0.

Hence the correct answer is option c.

The quadratic equation of the given problem is already arranged (that is, all the terms are found on one side and the 0 on the other side), thus we approach the given problem as follows;

In the problem, the question was asked: what is the value of the coefficient$b$in the equation?

Let's remember the definitions of coefficients when solving a quadratic equation as well as the formula for the roots:

The rule says that the roots of an equation of the form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$are :

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

That is the coefficient$b$is the coefficient of the term in the first power -$x$We then examine the equation of the given problem:

$$$3x^2+8x-5 =0$That is, the number that multiplies

$x$ is

$8$Consequently we are able to identify b, which is the coefficient of the term in the first power, as the number$8$,

Thus the correct answer is option d.

The quadratic equation is given as $4x^2 + 9x - 2$. This equation is in the standard form of a quadratic equation, which is $ax^2 + bx + c$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are coefficients.

• The term $4x^2$ indicates that the coefficient $a = 4$.
• The term $9x$ indicates that the coefficient $b = 9$.
• The constant term $-2$ indicates that the coefficient $c = -2$.

From this analysis, we can see that the coefficient $c$ is $-2$.

Therefore, the value of the coefficient $c$ in the equation is $-2$.

To solve the problem, we'll identify the parameters $a$, $b$, and $c$ from the given quadratic function:

• **Step 1**: Compare the given equation $y = -5x^2$ with the general quadratic form $y = ax^2 + bx + c$.
• **Step 2**: Note that the coefficient of $x^2$ is $-5$, hence $a = -5$.
• **Step 3**: Since there is no $x$ term, $b = 0$.
• **Step 4**: Since there is no constant term, $c = 0$.

After identifying the parameters, we conclude:

The parameters for the quadratic function are $a = -5$, $b = 0$, $c = 0$. Therefore, the correct choice is:

The correct answer is $a = -5, b = 0, c = 0$.

To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify each term in the given function $y = 2x^2 + 3$.
• Step 2: Compare the equation to the standard quadratic form $y = ax^2 + bx + c$.
• Step 3: Determine the coefficients $a$, $b$, and $c$.
• Step 4: Match these coefficients to the correct multiple-choice option.

Step 1: The given function is $y = 2x^2 + 3$. There is no $x$ term present.

Step 2: Compare this with the standard form $y = ax^2 + bx + c$:

• The coefficient of $x^2$ is $a = 2$.
• The coefficient of $x$ is $b = 0$ because there is no $x$ term.
• The constant term is $c = 3$.

Step 3: Therefore, the coefficients are $a = 2$, $b = 0$, and $c = 3$.

Step 4: Review the multiple-choice options provided:

• Choice 1: $a = 0$, $b = 2$, $c = 3$
• Choice 2: $a = 0$, $b = 3$, $c = 2$
• Choice 3: $a = 2$, $b = 0$, $c = 3$
• Choice 4: $a = 3$, $b = 0$, $c = 2$

The correct choice is Choice 3: $a = 2$, $b = 0$, $c = 3$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is the values $a = 2$, $b = 0$, $c = 3$ which correspond to choice 3.
