Math Problem Statement

Solve the math tasks related to quadratic equations. Tasks involve identifying quadratic equations, finding coefficients, and marking correct equations.

Solution

Let's solve the tasks visible in the image step by step:


1. Task

a) Which equation is quadratic?

Quadratic equations are of the form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a0a \neq 0. Let's analyze the options:

  • A) 5x1=05x - 1 = 0: This is a linear equation (no x2x^2 term).
  • B) 2x2+4x=02x^2 + 4x = 0: This is a quadratic equation.
  • C) 3x+5x=03x + 5x = 0: This is a linear equation.
  • D) x22=0x - 2^2 = 0: No x2x^2 term; this is also linear.

Answer: B) 2x2+4x=02x^2 + 4x = 0

b) Write the coefficient aa for the quadratic equation 2x27x+1=02x^2 - 7x + 1 = 0.

In the equation 2x27x+1=02x^2 - 7x + 1 = 0, the coefficient aa is the number in front of x2x^2, which is a=2a = 2.

Answer: a=2a = 2

c) Which equation has the coefficients a=2a = 2, b=3b = 3, and c=4c = 4?

We need to find the equation of the form 2x2+3x+4=02x^2 + 3x + 4 = 0. Let's analyze the options:

  • A) 2x2+4x+3=02x^2 + 4x + 3 = 0: Incorrect coefficients.
  • B) 4x2+2x+3=04x^2 + 2x + 3 = 0: Incorrect coefficients.
  • C) 3x2+2x+4=03x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0: Incorrect coefficients.
  • D) 2x2+3x+4=02x^2 + 3x + 4 = 0: Correct coefficients.

Answer: D) 2x2+3x+4=02x^2 + 3x + 4 = 0


2. Task

Mark 3 quadratic equations:

Quadratic equations follow the form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a0a \neq 0 and x2x^2 is present.

  • A) x249=0x^2 - 49 = 0: This is a quadratic equation.
  • B) x2+3x+x3=0x^2 + 3x + x^3 = 0: Not quadratic (has an x3x^3 term).
  • C) (x24)(x+4)=0(x^2 - 4)(x + 4) = 0: This can be expanded into a quadratic equation.
  • D) x(x+7)=0x(x + 7) = 0: This is quadratic (can be written as x2+7x=0x^2 + 7x = 0).
  • E) (x+5)2=0(x + 5)^2 = 0: This is a quadratic equation (expands to ( x^2 + 10x + 25 = 0 \
