Question

What are the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation 0 = 5x – 4x2 – 2? a = 5, b = 4, c = 2 a = 5, b = –4, c = –2 a = –4, b = 5, c = –2 a = 4, b = –5, c = –2

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

The 3rd choice. a = -4, b = 5, c = -2.

Explanation:

Rearrange the quadratic equation given into the form 0 = ax² + bx + c:

0 = 5x - 4x² - 2 --> 0 = -4x² + 5x - 2

The corresponding coefficients for the a, b and c values are:

a = -4

b = 5

c = -2.
