Question

Rewrite the polynomial in the form ax^2 + bx + C and then identify the values of a, b, and c.

I really need help ):

Answer 1

`a = 5\\\\b = -1\\\\c=1`

Explanation:

Given

`-x+5x^2+1`

Required

Rewrite and identify a, b and c

The required form is:

`ax^2 + bx + c`

Equate both expressions

`ax^2 + bx + c = -x+5x^2+1`

Rewrite as:

`ax^2 + bx + c = 5x^2-x+1`

Compare the expressions on either sides

`a = 5\\\\b = -1\\\\c=1`
