Number 4
4x^2 + 20x = 0 This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra

Answer by aswathytony(47) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the standard form of a quadratric equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
given equation is 4x^2 + 20x = 0.
here equation is having only two terms, x^2 & x term. there is no constant term , i.e. c =0.
we can write the equation as 4x^2 + 20x + 0 =0 ( instead of writing like this zero is avoided , since it makes no sense)
comparing with standard form , we get a= 4 , b = 20 & c= 0.
