1. Some of the given equation are in standard form and some are not.
2. The given equation in number 3,4,5 are not in standard form. what i did is i simplify the given factor then equate to zero.
3. Yes, it is important to write the quadratic equation into a standard form so that it is easy to determine the value of a,b , and c. Also it is easy to solve the sum and product of the given quadratic equation.
