Answer

TRUE The standard form of a quadratic equation is: $ax^2+bx+c=0$. Thus, take for instance the equation: $ x^2-2x+1=0$ The variable factor $x$ in $2x$ is squared in the first term, $x^2$.

Work Step by Step

An equation with three terms that is quadratic in form has a variable factor in one term that is the square of the variable factor in another term.
