The constant term is 8.
The constant term is −5.
The leading coefficient is 8.

The leading coefficient is 8. A quadratic equation has the following form: a*x^2 + b*x + c. In such an equation a is called the leading coefficient, which in our case is equal to 8. So the third answer is the correct one.

Only the following statement is true: The leading coefficient is 8.

Quadratic function

The quadratic function can be represented by a quadratic equation in the Standard form: ax²+bx+c=0 where: a, b and c are your respective coefficients. In the quadratic function the coefficient "a" must be different than zero (a[tex]\neq[/tex]0) and the degree of the function must be equal to 2.

The coefficients can be classified in:

  • Leading coefficient -  This is the coefficient attached to the variable with the highest exponent. In the standard form of  a quadratic function is represented by a.
  • Constant term  - It is a term without variable, in the other words, it is represented only by a constant ( a number).

For solving this question, you should analyze the coefficients of the given quadratic equation.

From comparison between ax²+bx+c=0 and 8x²-5x+3=0. It is possible to see that:

  • the leading coefficient =a=8
  • the constant term=c=3
