answer: standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

step-by-step explanation:

standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

(2x + 1)(x - 2) = 0

distribute to get into standard form

2x^2 - 4x + x - 2 = 0

2x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0

a = 2, b= -3, c = -2

a is your answer

answer: evaluate the objective function at each vertex to determine which - and -values, if any, maximize or minimize the function. example: find the minimum value and maximum value of the objective function f ( x , y ) = 4 x + 5 y , subject to the following constraints
