Question

consider the quadratic function f(x)=8x²−7x+6. what is the constant of the function?
-7
6
7
8

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the form of a quadratic function

A quadratic function is generally written as \( f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c \), where \( a \) is the coefficient of \( x^2 \), \( b \) is the coefficient of \( x \), and \( c \) is the constant term (the term without a variable).

Step2: Identify the constant term in \( f(x)=8x^2 - 7x + 6 \)

In the given function \( f(x)=8x^2 - 7x + 6 \), comparing it with the general form \( ax^2+bx + c \), we can see that the term without a variable (the constant term) is \( 6 \).

Answer:

B. 6 (assuming the options are labeled with letters, if the original options were labeled as such; if not, just the value 6)
