Which are quadratic equations?

OpenStudy (katecc379):

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Standard form of quadratics: \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\)

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

Any equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 is a quadratic equation where a is not equal to zero and a,b,c are real numbers

OpenStudy (katecc379):

so c and d?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yep

OpenStudy (katecc379):

okay how would you determine a graph opening downward in the same form?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Can you give me an example?

OpenStudy (katecc379):

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Like do you mean determining whether the parabola is going to face up or down?

OpenStudy (katecc379):

see attachment

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Well if the a value is positive then the parabola faces upward and if the a value is negative then the parabola faces downward.

OpenStudy (katecc379):

so would any of them be? B?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

B works and then there's one more. You might need to rearrange them if you'd want to see it in the standard form

OpenStudy (katecc379):

ohh d?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yep

OpenStudy (katecc379):

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Sure but can you make new posts?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):
