Question 8 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

Which equation has an a-value of 1, a b-value of –3, and a c-value of –5?

Answer
A
0 = –3x – 5 + x2
B
0 = x – 3 – 5x2
C
0 = 3x – 5 – x2
D
0 = –3x + 5 – x2

Explanation

In standard form, a quadratic equation is written as ax² + bx + c = 0. The values a = 1, b = –3, and c = –5 give x² – 3x – 5 = 0. Choice A, 0 = –3x – 5 + x², has exactly those terms, just written in a different order.
