Question

A quadratic equation is an equation that can be written in the form ax^2+bx+c=0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a is not 0 .

A) True
B) False

Answer 1

Hey there!

This is true.

A quadratic equation must be in this form or any other quadratic equation form and must have the squared term. These all need to be real numbers, and it would not work if they weren't. A cannot be zero because if it was the squared term would not be there and therefore it would not be a quadratic equation.

Hope this helps!
