A quadratic function is given.

f (x) = 2x^2 + 4x + 3

(a) Express the quadratic function in standard form.

2x² + 4x + 3 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is said to be quadratic if it has highest degree = 2.

Further, The standard form of Quadratic Equation is:

ax² + bx + c = 0

where, a ≠ 0

a, b and c are constants

and x is unknown variable.

Thus, The Standard form of given Quadratic Equation is 2x² + 4x + 3 = 0
