Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The values of a,b and c are 1, -3 and -2 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of quadratic equation is given by :

$ax^2+bx+c=0$ .....(1)

Here, a,b and c are constants

The given equation is :

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

We can also write the above equation as :

$x^2+(-3x)+(-2)=0$ ....(2)

If we compare equation (1) and (2), we get :

a = 1

b = -3 and

c = -2

So, the values of a,b and c are 1, -3 and -2 respectively.
