Question

what is the standard form of a quadratic equation?
a. $y = ax^2 + bx + c$
b. $y = abx + c$
c. $y = a + bx + cx^2$
d. $y = ax + bx + c$

Explanation:

A quadratic equation is a second-degree polynomial equation, meaning the highest exponent of the variable is 2. The standard form arranges terms from highest to lowest degree, with coefficients $a$, $b$, $c$ (where $a
eq 0$) representing constants.

Answer:

a. $y = ax^2 + bx + c$
