how to write standard form for: (please answer this question soon ) [tex]2x - x ^{2} = 1[/tex] [tex] - x {}^{2} = 15[/tex] [tex]4x { }^{2} = 12[/tex] [tex]5 + x = 3x { }^{2} [/tex]
Put the terms in order of decreasing degree, all on the left. When convenient, it is nice to have mutually prime integer coefficients with the leading one positive.
a) x² -2x +1 = 0
b) x² +15 = 0
c) 4x² -12 = 0 or, better, divide out the common factor of 4. x² -3 = 0
d) 3x² -x -5 = 0
_____ Shown is the standard form for a single-variable second-degree equation. Form varies depending on the nature of the equation. Equations of conic sections have different standard forms, depending on the curve.
