The standard form of a quadratic equation is
,
where ,
, and
are coefficients. You want to get the given equation into this form. You can accomplish this by putting all the non-zero values on the left side on the equation.
In this case, the given equation is
Since is on the right side of the equation, we subtract that from both sides. The resulting equation is
Looking at the standard form equation , we can see that
Following PEMDAS is crucial to solving these. Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
P - Parenthesis
E - Exponents
M - Multiplication
D - Division
A - Addition
S - Subtraction
Multiplication/Division and Addition/Subtraction are interchangeable.
Now then, number 1 has the following:
There are no parenthesis or exponents, but there is multiplication, so we will start with multiplying. There are two multiplication expressions in the problem.
Since you did that, your answer has been simplified to:
Now, all you have to do is combine your like terms. Since every term is alike, you can combine the whole expression.
So, your final answer would be:
Hopefully with this information, you can solve the rest. If you have any questions, let me know.
