Math Problem Statement

¿Cuáles son los coeficientes de la función f(x) = 5x^2 - 3x + 4?

Solution

The question asks for the coefficients of the function f(x)=5x23x+4f(x) = 5x^2 - 3x + 4.

The general form of a quadratic function is: f(x)=ax2+bx+cf(x) = ax^2 + bx + c where:

  • aa is the coefficient of x2x^2,
  • bb is the coefficient of xx,
  • cc is the constant term.

For the given function f(x)=5x23x+4f(x) = 5x^2 - 3x + 4:

  • a=5a = 5 (coefficient of x2x^2),
  • b=3b = -3 (coefficient of xx),
  • c=4c = 4 (constant term).

Now, looking at the options in the image:

  • The correct answer is d) a=5,b=3,c=4a = 5, b = -3, c = 4.

Would you like more details or explanations?

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:

  1. What is the role of the coefficient aa in a quadratic function?
  2. How does changing the value of bb affect the graph of a quadratic function?
  3. Can a quadratic function have a zero coefficient for bb? What would that look like?
  4. What does the constant cc represent in the context of a graph?
  5. How can we find the roots of a quadratic function given the coefficients?

Tip: The coefficient aa determines the direction and width of the parabola, where a positive aa opens upwards and a negative aa opens downwards.
