Mischa wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form. What is the value of c in her equation

Respuesta :

Standard form for quadratic equations is:

ax² + bx + c = 0 

Therefore, in Mischa's equation, the value of c is -7.

Mischa wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form

The standard form of quadratic equation is

[tex] y= ax^2 + bx + c [/tex]

When y=0 then the standard equation becomes

[tex] 0= ax^2 + bx + c [/tex]

Now we compare the given equation [tex] 0 = -x^2 + 4x - 7 [/tex]  with [tex] 0= ax^2 + bx + c [/tex] and find the value of a, b,c

-x^2 can be written as -1x^2

[tex] 0= ax^2 + bx + c [/tex]

[tex] 0 = -1x^2 + 4x - 7 [/tex]

a= -1 , b=4  and c=-7

The value of c is -7
