What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

Answer: ax² + bx + c = 0.

  • A ax + b = 0
  • B ax² + bx + c = 0
  • C ax³ + bx + c = 0
  • D a/x + b = 0

Correct answer: B. ax² + bx + c = 0

Explanation: The standard form is ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, c are constants and a ≠ 0.

Argand Plane: z = a + ibReImz = a+iba (real part)b (imaginary part)θ = arg(z)|z| = length of the vector OZ = √(a²+b²); θ = angle OZ makes with the positive real axis

A complex number z = a+ib is plotted as a point (or vector from the origin) on the Argand plane, with the real part along the horizontal axis and the imaginary part along the vertical; its modulus |z| is the vector's length, and its argument θ is the angle from the positive real axis.
