Question

Alessandro wrote the quadratic equation –6 = x2 + 4x – 1 in standard form. What is the value of c in his new equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write it in standard form, we set the equation equal to 0.  To do this, we add 6 to each side:

-6+6 = x² + 4x - 1 + 6

0 = x² + 4x + 5

The related function is

y = x² + 4x + 5

The value of c in this function is 5.
