Question

What is the first step in writing f(x) = 6x2 + 5 – 42x in vertex form?

Factor 6 out of each term.
Factor 6 out of the first two terms.
Write the function in standard form.
Write the trinomial as a binomial squared

Answer 1

Option 3rd is correct

Write the function in standard form.

Explanation:

The standard form of the quadratic equation is given by:

`y=Ax^2+Bx+C`

As per the statement:

Given the function:

`f(x) = 6x^2+5-42x`

We have to find the first step writing f(x) vertex form.

Firstly, write the given function in standard form

by definition we have;

`f(x) = 6x^2-42x+5`

Therefore, the first step writing f(x) vertex form is, Write the function in standard form.

Answer 2

f(x) = 6x² + 5 - 42x

first step in writing the f(x) in vertex form? WRITE THE FUNCTION IN STANDARD FORM.

f(x) = 6x² - 42x + 5

Exponents must be in decreasing order.
