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

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

The discriminant is

• aX²  + bX  +  c
• b - 4ac
• b² - 4ac
• b² + 4ac

Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 8x = 3

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3
• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

Solve Using the Quadratic Formula
 x² + 4x - 40 = -8

• -10 & -4
• -4 & 10
• -8 & 4
• 8 & -4
