Question

Alessandro wrote the quadratic equation -6=x2+4x-1 in standard form. What is the value of c in his new equation?

Answer 1

5.

Explanation:

Answer 2

5.

Explanation:

-6 = x^2 + 4x - 1

x^2 + 4x - 1 = -6

Add 6 to both sides

x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0

The value of c is the value of the number with no x attached to it. So, the value of c in the new equation is 5.

Hope this helps!
