Hi Lanio O.
You can look up your expressions, they are quadratics, if the coefficient of x2 in your equations is equal to zero then you cannot have a Quadratic
In the first one
x2 - 2x - 3 = 0
According to ax2 + bx +c
a = 1, b = -2 and c = -3
If a is ever equal to zero then you would not have a Quadratic
You can further confirm that you have Quadratics by the steps below
Factor your expressions
Set them equal to zero
Solve for x
x2 - 2x - 3 = 0
(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
Can you work out the rest from here, please give it a try
