Question

What is `a` in this quadratic equation `2x^2 + 11x +10 = 0`??

Answer 1

`a=2`

Explanation:

A general standard quadratic equation is in the form `ax^2+bx+c=0`, where

`a` is the coefficient of term `x^2`

`b` is the coefficient of term `x` and

`c` is the constant term

In the given equation `2x^2+11x+10=0`, as the coefficient of `x^2` is `2`,

`a=2`
