1. **State the problem:** Write each given function in the standard quadratic form $ax^2 + bx + c$ and identify the values of $a$, $b$, and $c$.
2. **Recall the standard form:** A quadratic function is written as $$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are constants, and $a \neq 0$.
3. **Analyze each function:**
- a. $f(x) = 2x - x^2 + 1$
Rearrange terms to standard form:
$$f(x) = -x^2 + 2x + 1$$
So, $a = -1$, $b = 2$, $c = 1$.
- b. $g(x) = 5 + 3x + x^2$
Rearrange terms:
$$g(x) = x^2 + 3x + 5$$
So, $a = 1$, $b = 3$, $c = 5$.
- c. $h(t) = t^2 - 2t + 1$
Already in standard form:
$$h(t) = t^2 - 2t + 1$$
So, $a = 1$, $b = -2$, $c = 1$.
- d. $f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3$
Already in standard form:
$$f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3$$
So, $a = 1$, $b = -2$, $c = 3$.
- e. $h(x) = 8x^2 + 4 - 4x$
Rearrange terms:
$$h(x) = 8x^2 - 4x + 4$$
So, $a = 8$, $b = -4$, $c = 4$.
4. **Summary table:**
| Function | Expression in $ax^2 + bx + c$ | $a$ | $b$ | $c$ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| a | $-x^2 + 2x + 1$ | $-1$ | $2$ | $1$ |
| b | $x^2 + 3x + 5$ | $1$ | $3$ | $5$ |
| c | $t^2 - 2t + 1$ | $1$ | $-2$ | $1$ |
| d | $x^2 - 2x + 3$ | $1$ | $-2$ | $3$ |
| e | $8x^2 - 4x + 4$ | $8$ | $-4$ | $4$ |
5. **Check if each function is quadratic:** Since all have $a \neq 0$, all are quadratic functions (QF).
**Final answer:**
| Function | Quadratic? |
|---|---|
| a | QF |
| b | QF |
| c | QF |
| d | QF |
| e | QF |
