Question

Consider the quadratic function 8x2=-7x+6 what is the constant of the function

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

This quadratic needs to be in standard form.

`f(x) = a {x}^(2) + bx + c`

`8 {x}^(2) = - 7x + 6`

Subtract
`8 {x}^(2)` from both sides of the equation.

`8 {x}^(2) - 8 {x}^(2) = - 8 {x}^(2) - 7x + 6`

`- 8 {x}^(2) - 7x + 6`

The constant is the value that stays "constant" or doesn't have a variable. In quadratics in standard form, the constant is the
`c` value.

`a = - 8`

`b = - 7`

`c = 6`

Since the
`c` value is 6, the constant is equal to 6
