![**Question 14: What is the value of \( a \) in the quadratic function \( y = 5x^2 + 7x - 10 \)?**
- \( y \)
- \(-10\)
- \( 7 \)
- \( 5 \)
**Explanation:**
In a quadratic function of the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), the coefficient \( a \) is the number in front of \( x^2 \). In this function, the term with \( x^2 \) is \( 5x^2 \), which means \( a = 5 \). Therefore, the correct answer is the last option, \( 5 \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F19970e26-bb53-4e07-89bf-239decefc9bc%2F511b5362-cee6-4047-a23c-3189c41d2258%2Fk8bjzq_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
