Linear equations are straight lines while quadratics are curved in a "u" shape. These points have a vertex and go up on both sides, a quadratic would be able to better fit this since their y values repeat, unlike linear models.

The given question can be solve using quadratic formula.

The correct option is (c) $3x^2 +8x -10=-8$ .

Given:

The given equation is,

$x=\dfrac{-8\pm\sqrt{8^2-4(3)(-1)}} {2(3)}$ ---------------------------(1)

Write the general quadratic equation.

$ax^2 + bx +c=0$

Write the quadratic formula.

$x =\dfrac {-b \pm \sqrt{(b^2 - 4ac)} } {2a}$ ------------------------------- (2)

Compare equation (1) and (2).

$a=3\\b=8\\c=-2$

Substitute the value of $a$ , $b$ and $c$ in general quadratic.

$3x^2 +8x -2=0$

Subtract $8$ from each side of above equation.

$3x^2 +8x -2 -8=0-8\\3x^2 +8x -10=-8$

Thus, the correct option is (c) $3x^2 +8x -10=-8$ .
