Question

What are the values of the coefficients and constant term of 0 = 4 – 7x2 + x in standard form?

Answer 1

Answer: a=-7, b=+1, c=+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation written in the standard form is written as

`ax^2 + bx+c=0` (1)

where a and b are the coefficients of the second-order and first-order term, while c is the constant term.

The equation we have in this problem is

`-7 x^2 +x-4=0` (2)

By comparing (1) with (2), we immediately see that:

a = -7

b = +1

c = +4
