x^2-3/4x+1/4=0 or 4x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0

Explanation:

This equation is already in standard form.

The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Therefore you already have a standard form.

However, some exams and textbooks may require you to remove the fractions from the standard form (which I think is what your question wants).

To do this, you can multiply each term by 4 giving
4x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0.

However, this simplifying step isn't necessary unless the question states that.

Hope that makes sense!
