Answer 1

To rewrite the polynomial \( x^2 + 10 + \frac{x}{7} \) in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c \), we first combine the terms properly.

We can start by rewriting \( \frac{x}{7} \) so that we have all terms in the standard form:

1. Write \( x^2 + \frac{x}{7} + 10 \).
2. To combine the linear terms, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for the \( x \) term will be 7:

\[
x^2 + \frac{1}{7}x + 10
\]

Now, we can express this polynomial in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c \):

\[
x^2 + \frac{1}{7}x + 10
\]

From this polynomial, we can identify the coefficients:

- \( a = 1 \) (the coefficient of \( x^2 \))
- \( b = \frac{1}{7} \) (the coefficient of \( x \))
- \( c = 10 \) (the constant term)

So, the values are:

- \( a = 1 \)
- \( b = \frac{1}{7} \)
- \( c = 10 \)

Answer:
- \( a = 1 \)
- \( b = \frac{1}{7} \)
- \( c = 10 \)
