Question

Consider the quadratic function f(y) = 8y2 – 7y + 6. What is the constant of the function?

Answer 1

The constant of the function would be 6.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

We know that the general form of a quadratic equation is given by,

`a_(2) x^(2) + a_(1) x + a_(0)`,

where
`a_(i)` are constants for i = 0, 1, 2.

We need to know the constant term of this quadratic equation.

Constant term is the term which is independent from the variable 'x' i.e.
`a_(0)`.

Hence, by comparing the given equation with the general form, we get that the constant term of the equation is 6.
