Question

Rewrite the given equation in standard form. f(x) = 5x2

2
= 3x -1. Then write the a, b and c value.

Answer 1

a = 5, b = -3 and c =1

Explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is expressed as;

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

Given the expression

f(x) = 5x² = 3x - 1

f(x) = 5x² - 3x + 1

Comparing with the general formula;

ax² = 5x²

a = 5

bx = -3x

b = -3

c = 1

Hence a = 5, b = -3 and c =1
