What is the first step in writing f(x) = 6x2 + 5 – 42x in vertex form?

A.Factor 6 out of each term.
B.Factor 6 out of the first two terms.
C.Write the function in standard form.
D.Write the trinomial as a binomial squared.

Respuesta :

i think it would be choice C because standard form is Y=ax^2 + bx + c. the function f(x) = 6x^2 + 5 - 42x isn’t written in standard form.

The first step in writing f(x) = 6x2 + 5 – 42x in vertex form is Write the function in standard form. Standard form of (x) = 6x2 + 5 – 42x is Y=ax^2 + bx + c

Answer = (C)
