Question

Consider the quadratic function f(x) = –2x2 + 5x – 4.

Answer 1

what's the question?

Answer 2

The leading coefficient of the function is ....

Answer 3

Hint: The leading of the coefficient is the coefficient of the term that has the highest power of x

Answer 4

is it 5

Answer 5

nope
in \(-2x^2+5x-4\) which term has the highest power of x?

Answer 6

2x2
(te second one is squared)

Answer 7

it's negative \(x^2\)

so what is the coefficient of \(-2x^2\)

Answer 8

2x

Answer 9

no, the coefficient of \(-2x^2\) would be \(-2\) because it is \(-2\) of \(x^2\)

Answer 10

oh ok thanks
