By the intersecting chords theorem,
Put the terms in order of decreasing degree, all on the left. When convenient, it is nice to have mutually prime integer coefficients with the leading one positive.
a) x² -2x +1 = 0
b) x² +15 = 0
c) 4x² -12 = 0
or, better, divide out the common factor of 4.
x² -3 = 0
d) 3x² -x -5 = 0
_____
Shown is the standard form for a single-variable second-degree equation. Form varies depending on the nature of the equation. Equations of conic sections have different standard forms, depending on the curve.
