Question

When when the quadratic equation 5 x square is equal to 2 into 2 X + 3 is expressed in the standard form of the constant term is obtained by

Answer 1

Here the given Quadratic equation is

$\sf{5 {x}^{2} = 2(2x + 3)}$

We simplify the quadratic equation as below

$\sf{5 {x}^{2} = 2(2x + 3)}$

$\sf{ \implies \: 5 {x}^{2} = 4x + 6}$

$\sf{ \implies \: 5 {x}^{2} - 4x - 6 = 0}$

Comparing with the general quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 we get

a = 5 , b = - 4 , c = - 6

Hence the constant term = c = - 6
