In the following function defined by an equation in the form y = a x squared + b x + c, identify the values of a, b, and c.
y = two-thirds x squared + 3
a.
a = 0, b = two-thirds, c = 3
b.
a = two-thirds, b = 0, c = 3
c.
a = 0, b = 3, c = two-thirds
d.
a = two-thirds, b = two-thirds, c = 3

Given:


y=(2)/(3)x^2+3

This equation is in the form
y=ax^2+bx+c.

To find:

The values of a, b and c.

Solution:

We have,


y=(2)/(3)x^2+3

It can be written as


y=(2)/(3)x^2+(0)b+3

On comparing this equation with
y=ax^2+bx+c, we get


a=(2)/(3),b=0,c=3

Therefore, the correct option is b.
