okay one more problem..;) Using the quadratic formula, identify the a, b and c values from the equation: x^2+4x+1=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The "a" is the coefficient of the x^2 term, which here is 1, because there is nothing in front of the x^2. The "b" is the coefficient of the x^1 term, which here is 4. The "c" is a constant, or the coefficient of the x^0 term, which here is 1.

The quadratic formula is: \[(x+a)(x+b)=^x{2}+bx+ax+ab=x^{2}+(ab)^{2}+ab\]

thank you guys sooo very much :)))

Your welcome!!! :)

It is supposed to be:

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

\[x^{2}\] after the equal sign.
