Question

What is the value of the coefficient "b" when the quadratic equation y = (3x + 2)(2x − 1) is written in standard form

Answer 1

Use F.O.I.L method to write it into standard form:

\[6x^{2} + x - 2\]

After that, you have the equation in the form:

\[ax ^{2} + bx + c\]

b = 1 in this case
