question 2 of 10
it is never helpful to rewrite an equation in standard form as a first step in
solving it.

a. false

b. true

Explanation:

Rewriting an equation in standard form is often helpful for solving it, like for quadratic equations (e.g., \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\)) where factoring or using the quadratic formula is easier in standard form. So the statement "It is never helpful..." is false.

Answer:

A. FALSE
