Question

When `5x^2 + 2 = 4x` is written in standard form, what are the values of `a, b,` and `c`?

Answer 1

Standard form of this equation is `5x^2 - 4x = -2`

Value of the following are:
a = 5
b = -4
c = -2

Explanation:

So standard form of an equation is `ax + by = c`

So we have `5x^2 + 2 = 4x`.

Now, we need to subtract 4x from both side which gives us.

`5x^2 - 4x + 2 = 0`

This is not in standard form as there is no `c` so we need to subtract 2 from both side which gives us

`5x^2 - 4x = -2`
