Consider the quadratic function. ()=2−8−5 What are the values of the coefficients and the constant in the function?

Question:

Consider the quadratic function. f(p) = p^2 - 8p- 5

What are the values of the coefficients and the constant in the function?

Constant = -5 and Coefficients = 1 and -8

Solution:

Given that,

Consider the quadratic function

The general form of quadratic equation is given as:

Where,

"a" and "b" are coefficients and "c" is constant

On comparing given equation with above,

Constant = -5

Coefficients = 1 and -8

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested

^ means raise to the power of
