Question:
Consider the quadratic function. f(p) = p^2 - 8p- 5
What are the values of the coefficients and the constant in the function?
Answer:
Constant = -5 and Coefficients = 1 and -8
Solution:
Given that,
Consider the quadratic function
[tex]f(p) = p^2 - 8p - 5[/tex]
The general form of quadratic equation is given as:
[tex]ax^2 + bx + c=0[/tex]
Where,
"a" and "b" are coefficients and "c" is constant
On comparing given equation with above,
[tex]f(p) = p^2 - 8p - 5[/tex]
Constant = -5
Coefficients = 1 and -8
