Question

When simplified and written in standard form, which quadratic function is equivalent to the polynomial shown?

2 + 7c – 4c2 – 3c + 4

Answer 1

2c^2 - 2c - 3

Explanation:

Next time, please share the answer choices. Thank you.

Group together the 'c' terms in 2 + 7c – 4c2 – 3c + 4:

2 + 4c and -4c^2 + 4 Then we have:

-4c^2 + 4c + 6

We should reduce this by factoring -2 out of all three terms:

2c^2 - 2c - 3 This is the desired quadratic in standard form.
