Introduction to Quadratic Functions

Question 4 • High School Math 2 A

Which is a quadratic function having a leading coefficient of 3 and a constant term of –12?

Answer
A
f(x) = –12x2 + 3x + 1
B
f(x) = 3x2 + 11x – 12
C
f(x) = 12x2 + 3x + 3
D
f(x) = 3x – 12

Explanation

A quadratic function has an x² term. Its leading coefficient is the coefficient of x², and its constant term is the number without a variable. In f(x) = 3x² + 11x – 12, those values are 3 and –12, respectively, so choice B is correct.
