Answer :

a = 1, b = -8, c = -5

Explanation

A standard form for the quadratic function is f(x) = ax2 + bx + c where the coefficients are a, b, and c.
The given quadratic function is f(p) = P2 - 8P - 5 When this function is compared to the standard form, with p replacing x, we obtain a = 1 because the leading term is 1*p2, b = -8 because the linear term is -8*p, c = -5 because the constant term is -5.
Answer is : a = 1, b = -8, c = -5.
