Question

Write the equation 2x^2 - 4x + 6 = 1 in standard form and then choose the value of "c."

5
3
2.5

Answer 1

Hello @Secret Do you know what standard form is?

Answer 2

Um, not really...

Answer 3

\[Ax + By = C\]

Answer 4

So for example, if I were to have:

\[3x^2 - 2= 10x + 6\]
I would add 2 to both sides, then subtract 10x from both sides, to get:
\[3x^2 - 10x = 8\]

Answer 5

Ohh

Answer 6

The number without a variable, also called the constant, should be alone on one side of the equation.

Answer 7

Oh

Answer 8

Got it?

Answer 9

Ya, kinda

Answer 10

So i would have

2x^2 - 12x + 18 = 13???

Answer 11

How did you get 12, 18, and 13?

Answer 12

Oof i messed up wait

Answer 13

XD I think i messed it up with a different eqation

Answer 14

I confused my self

Answer 15

Yeah. Otherwise you would have multiplied the 2nd and 3rd term by 3, then slapped a 3 behind the last term, lol

Answer 16

Oof

Answer 17

I'm so confused now...

Answer 18

It's simple. Have the terms with x on one side, and then the constant on the other side.

\[ 2x^2 - 4x + 6 = 1\]
\[2x^2 - 4x + 6 - 6 = 1 - 6\]
\[2x^2 - 4x = -5\]

Answer 19

@Secret Does that make sense?

Answer 20

Ohhhh, ya it does

Answer 21

So then what do you do next???

Answer 22

choose the value of "c."
