Question

What is the coefficient in the expression 4x^2+3x-3

Answer 1

a = 4, b = 3, and c = -3

Explanation:

A quadratic equation of a variable is an equation that has the general form of:

`ax^(2)+bx+c=0`,
`a\\eq 0`

Where x is the variable, and a, b and c constants; a is the quadratic coefficient (other than 0), b the linear coefficient and c is the independent term. This polynomial can be interpreted by means of the graph of a quadratic function, that is, by a parabola. This graphical representation is useful, because the abscissas of the intersections or point of tangency of this graph, in the case of existing, with the X axis are the real roots of the equation. If the parabola does not cut the X axis the roots are complex numbers, they correspond to a negative discriminant.

So, the coefficients are a = 4, b = 3, and c = -3

Answer 2

The coefficients would be 4 and/or 3.

Explanation:

The coefficient is always the number before the variable.
