Answer 2

a^2 + bx + c

Answer 3

^^^

Answer 4

it's ax^2 isn't it?

Answer 5

Can u please explain how that is in standard form? i don;t really understand...is it because there are only letters?

Answer 6

Tariq,
ax^2 + bx + c
lets say a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3
so it'd be 1x^2 + 2x + 3

Answer 7

Ah, yes. It's ax^2 + bx + c. Typo.

Answer 8

Yes, they're just putting the letters there. The letters can be for other equations like the vertex formula:

-b/2a

The get the 'b' and the 'a' from the standard form ax^2 + bx + c.

Answer 9

So miss jade...1x^2 + 2x + 3
is this it not in standard form?

Answer 10

@Jadeishere

Answer 11

That IS standard form

Answer 12

So how do u make it go from standard form to not standard form?

Answer 13

rearrange the form
3 + 1x^2 + 2x

Answer 14

ohh i see thanks :D

Answer 15
