Question

Please help D: How do I find the general form of 1/4 x^2 + 5 = 0? I reread the lesson multiple times and I still don't know how to figure this problem out

Answer 1

Explanation:

(1/4)x^2 + 0x + 5 = 0 is in the general form of a quadratic function:

ax^2 + bx + c. It just happens, in this problem, that a = 1/4, b = 0 and c = 5. To get this result, we had to recognize that the x term was zero, because its coefficient, b, was zero.
