BOSE Consider the quadratic function.
f(p) = p? – Sp-5
What are the values of the coefficients and the constant in the function?
a = -1, b = -8, c = -5
a = 1, b= -5, C = -8
a = 1, b = -8, c = -5
a = -1, b = -5, C = 8

a = 1 ; b = -8 ; c = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(p) = p² - 8p  -5

a = co-efficient of p² = 1

b = co-efficient of p = -8

c = constant = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-8.3 + 9.2 - 4.4 + 3.7

= -8.3 + 9.2 + (-4.4) + 3.7            {Additive inverse}

= -8.3 + (-4.4) + 9.2 + 3.7            {Commutative Property}

= [ -8.3 + (-4.4] + [ 9.2 + 3.7]       {Associative property}

=  - 12.7 + 12.9

= 0.2
