Question

Consider the quadratic function f(x) = x2 – 5x + 6.

Answer 1

The Quadratic Formula uses the "a", "b", and "c" from "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers; they are the "numerical coefficients" of the quadratic equation. Therefore,

f(x) = x2 – 5x + 6
a = 1
b = -5
c = 6
