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:

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