Question

What is the value of the coefficient of "a" when the quadratic equation y = (5x − 2)(2x + 3) is written in standard form?

Answer 1

are you familiar with the foil method?

Answer 2

somewhat

Answer 3

or another method


for
\[ax^2+bx+c=y\]

we know that multiplying (5x − 2)& (2x + 3) together will give us a form

now just looking at the terms

5x, -2, 2x, &3

what 2 terms when multiplied together will give you a term with x^2?

Answer 4

x & x
