Question

Consider the quadratic function. ()=2−8−5 What are the values of the coefficients and the constant in the function?

Answer 1

Question:

Consider the quadratic function. f(p) = p^2 - 8p- 5

What are the values of the coefficients and the constant in the function?

Answer:

Constant = -5 and Coefficients = 1 and -8

Solution:

Given that,

Consider the quadratic function

$f(p) = p^2 - 8p - 5$

The general form of quadratic equation is given as:

$ax^2 + bx + c=0$

Where,

"a" and "b" are coefficients and "c" is constant

On comparing given equation with above,

$f(p) = p^2 - 8p - 5$

Constant = -5

Coefficients = 1 and -8
