Question

A quadratic equation in standard form is written ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a is not zero.True or False

Answer 1

Correct answer: True

Explanation:

Make sure you double-check which standard form you're dealing with.

For ax2 + bx + c = 0, this description is true.

Answer 2

True

=============

A quadratic equation is an equation of the second degree, meaning it contains at least one term that is squared. The standard form for representing a quadratic equation is:

• ax² + bx + c = 0

Here, "x" represents an unknown variable. "a", "b", and "c" are constants.

The condition that "a" is not equal to 0 ensures that the equation is indeed of the second-degree and not a linear equation. If "a" were to be 0, then the equation would be a first-degree or linear equation, not a quadratic.

Hence, the statement you're questioning is true.
