What are the steps in writing equation to standard form ?
usually depends on the given
is this a multiple choice question?
For Example : 5x-10x^2=12
well your main objective is to make it look like \[ax^2 + bx + c = 0\] so first step would be tosubtract 12 to both sides to bring 12 to the other side
Ok what is the second steps?
so you have \[5x - 10x^2 - 12 = 0\] second step would be to arrange it so that the x^2 is in the first spot \[-10x^2 + 5x - 12 = 0\]
and finally..the last step would be to make the coefficient of x^2 positive. since it's negative here, we divide ALL terms by -1 \[\frac{-10x^2}{-1} + \frac{5x}{-1} + \frac{-12}{-1} = 0\] \[implies 10x^2 - 5x + 12 = 0\]
\[\implies 10x^2 - 5x + 12=0\] that was a fail lol
do you get it?
