![### Quadratic Expressions
Below are three different quadratic expressions. Each expression is a polynomial of degree 2:
**a.** \( 4x^2 - 3x \)
This expression represents a quadratic equation where the coefficient of \( x^2 \) is 4 and the coefficient of \( x \) is -3. There is no constant term.
**b.** \( 24x^2 - 2x + 15 \)
Here, the quadratic expression includes a coefficient of 24 for \( x^2 \), a coefficient of -2 for \( x \), and a constant term of 15.
**c.** \( 12x^2 - 26x - 16 \)
This quadratic expression has a coefficient of 12 for \( x^2 \), a coefficient of -26 for \( x \), and a constant term of -16.
Each of these expressions can be analyzed further to find their roots, their vertex form, or to graph them to visualize their parabolic shapes.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F80c85fc6-2bab-4b0c-8d36-2f5a2f035760%2F6751c0ae-2cf9-46b9-a53e-73f8f3e8fed1%2Fc664bof_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
