The quadratic function has a general form of,

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

Where a,b,c are coefficients.

In your case the quadratic function is given in its general form,

f(x)=x^2-5x+6

The corresponding coefficients are thus a=1,b=-5,c=6.

The only constant term is c which is also a coefficient.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Coefficient is-5

Constant is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the quadratic formula

ax^2+bx+c

So b is the coefficient and c is the constant

So let's go back to the question

X2-5x+6

So the coefficient is -5

And the constant is 6

But since we can actually solve the question further so let's solve

X2-5x+6

Let's factorise

X2-3x-2x+6

X(x-3)-2(x-3)

(X-2)(x-3)

X-2=0

X=2

X-3=0

X=3

Therefore x is 2 or x is 3

Find the zeros of the quadratic function: f(x) = x2 + 8x – 20 0 = ax2 + bx + c What is the factored form of the function? What a
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The factored form of the equation is f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 10), which makes the zeros of the function x = -10 and x = 2.


In order to factor a quadratic like this, you must find factors of the constant (in this case -20). The pairs of factors are listed below.


1 and -20

-1 and 20

2 and -10

-2 and 10

4 and -5

-4 and 5


Now we must pick out the pair that add to the coefficient of x.


1 and -20

-1 and 20

2 and -10

-2 and 10

4 and -5

-4 and 5


Once you've picked out those numbers, you can place each in a parenthesis with x.


f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 10)


Then to find the zeros to the equation, set each parenthesis equal to 0 and solve.


x - 2 = 0

x = 2


x + 10 = 0

x = -10

How to find all of the angles and sides of a triangle using sine
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

how to find them

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The sine of the angle = the length of the opposite side. the length of the hypotenuse.

2. The cosine of the angle = the length of the adjacent side. the length of the hypotenuse.

3. The tangent of the angle = the length of the opposite side. the length of the adjacent side.

Find a & b if the point p(6,4)&q(2,3) lie on the graph of ax+by=20
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a = - 2 , b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points p and q lie on the graph then they satisfy the equation

(6, 4 ) , substitute x = 6 , y = 4 into the equation

6a + 4b = 20 → (1)

(2, 3 ) , substitute x = 2, y = 3 into the equation

2a + 3b = 20 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate a

- 6a - 9b = - 60 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate a

0 - 5b = - 40

- 5b = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

b = 8

Substitute b = 8 into either of the 2 equations and solve for a

Substituting into (1)

6a + 4(8) = 20

6a + 32 = 20 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

6a = - 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

a = - 2
