Question

Write the quadratic equation in standard form and then choose the value of "b." (2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0

Answer 1

ANSWER

b=11

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic equation is

$(2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0$

We expand to get:

$2 {x}^{2} + 12x - x - 6 = 0$

We simplify further by combining the x terms.

$2 {x}^{2} + 11x - 6 = 0$

This is the standard form.

Comparing to

$a{x}^{2} + bx + c= 0$

We have b=11
