Question

what are the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation 0 = x2 – 3x – 2? - a = , b = 3, c = 2 - a = , b = –3, c = –2 - a = , b = 3, c = –2 - a = , b = –3, c = 2

Answer 1

Answer:

-3 -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$x^2-3x-2=0\\\\a=1;\ b=-3;\ c=-2\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-2)=9+8=17 \ \textgreater \ 0\\\\then\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{17}}{2\cdot1}=\boxed{\dfrac{3-\sqrt{17}}{2}}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{17}}{2\cdot1}=\boxed{\dfrac{3+\sqrt{17}}{2}}$
