The standard form of a quadratic equation ONLY defines the form of the equation,
but  DOES  NOT  DEFINE  the values of the coefficients.


The values of the coefficients can be all multiplied by any non-zero coefficient,  leaving the equation  EQIVALENT;
THEREFORE,  the values of the coefficients in the standard form quadratic equation are defined only accurate to the common non-zero multiplier.


Therefore,  all your attempts to  "invent"  a new class of  Algebra problems are empty and make no sense.
