In the equation
y = x² +5x +7, match each leading coefficient with its correct letter 

• a=0, b=5, c=7
• a=1, b=5, c=7
• a=7, b=5, c=1

What should you do first in solving this equation?
x² + 6x - 13 = 3

• Get factored form
• Write down: a=1, b=6, c=-13
• Make it equal 0 by subtracting 3 on each side
• Type it all in a calculator.
