Question

Consider the quadratic function. ()=2−8−5 What are the values of the coefficients and the constant in the function? : a = –1, b = –8, c = –5 a = 1, b = –5, c = –8 a = 1, b = –8, c = –5 a = –1, b = –5, c = 8

Answer 1

Correct option c). a= 1 , b= -8 , c =-5 .

Explanation:

We have the following quadratic equation : f(x) =
`p^(2)-8p-5`

In algebra, a quadratic equation is any equation that can be rearranged in standard form as where x represents an unknown, and a, b, and c represent known numbers, where a ≠ 0. If a = 0, then the equation is linear, not quadratic, as there is no term. Equation :
`ax^(2)+bx+c`

Equation can be written as :
`(1)p^(2)+(-8)p+(-5)` , on comparing to equation
`ax^(2)+bx+c` we get:

`a = 1\\b = -8\\c = -5`

∴ Correct option c). a= 1 , b= -8 , c =-5 .
