answer: standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0
step-by-step explanation:
standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0
(2x + 1)(x - 2) = 0
distribute to get into standard form
2x^2 - 4x + x - 2 = 0
2x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0
a = 2, b= -3, c = -2
a is your answer
- both graphs increase on their domain.
- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.
- neither graph has a y-intercept.
