identify the correct list of coefficients for the quadratic expression 7x^2 - 4x + 12

1 answer

The coefficients of the quadratic expression \( 7x^2 - 4x + 12 \) can be identified as follows:

  • The coefficient of \( x^2 \) (the quadratic term) is 7.
  • The coefficient of \( x \) (the linear term) is -4.
  • The constant term (the term without \( x \)) is 12.

So the correct list of coefficients is:

  • 7 (for \( x^2 \))
  • -4 (for \( x \))
  • 12 (constant term)

In summary, the coefficients are: 7, -4, 12.
