  1. Do not ping the Moderators, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  2. Do not ping the Helper Moderators, unless there is a conflict between helpers.
  3. Do not ping other members randomly for help.
  4. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  5. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  6. If the Helper has answered your question, remember to thank them with the Mathematics Ranks bot and close the thread with:

+close
Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

...what?

This question is frankly difficult to parse. Math is all about clear communication. The bare minimum of that is using correct grammar.

#

I guess English might not be your first language, which is fair, but then you should probably ask about and discuss the question in a language you're more comfortable in.

You're referring to the Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation. The variables a, b, and c represent the coefficients. If you have an example problem, it might be easier to illustrate this.

#

NOT to confuse you! Only a and b are coefficients. "c" is a constant!

Technically c can be considered a coefficient of x^0.

That is fair. I was debating on leaving it like that, but I didn't want to confuse him any further, as many sources indicate c as a constant, whilst others just refer to it as a "quadratic coefficient" without further explanation. Either way, both interpretations work, as long as they meet the correct rationale.

It's just the expression for curve and its called quadratic expression or equation. a,b and c can be different values and a and b are the coefficients while is a constant. The x is a variable and when plugging in x values you can find the y coordinate. It works similarly to linear functions of y = mx+c
