Question

Identify the correct list of COEFFICIENTS for the quadratic expression: -2x to the power of 2+3x-8.

-2x to the power of 2, 3x, -8
-2x to the power of 2, 3x
-2, 3, -8
-2, 3

Answer 1

The correct list of coefficients for the quadratic expression \(-2x^2 + 3x - 8\) is:

- **\(-2, 3, -8\)**

In a quadratic expression of the form \(ax^2 + bx + c\), the coefficients are \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\). Here:
- \(a = -2\)
- \(b = 3\)
- \(c = -8\)

Therefore, the coefficients are \(-2, 3,\) and \(-8\).
