Question

What are the values a, b, and c in the following quadratic equation? −6x = −8x2 − 13 a = 8, b = −6, c = 13 a = −6, b = −8, c = 13 a = −6, b = −8, c = −13 a = −8, b = −6, c = −13

Answer 1

Answer:

I suggest you commit to memory the "Quadratic Formula" it probably one of the formula that you absolutely positively must know by heart: So here is your Quadratic Formula:

Given a 2nd Order Polynomial,P2:

P2=ax2+bx+c the Roots or solutions to the equation

x1 and x2 are given by the Quadratic Formula:

x1,2=−b±√b2−4ac2a

Now for your equation: 6x2−8x−3=0

x1,2=−8±√82−4⋅6⋅32⋅6

x1,2=−8±√64−7212=−23±i√26=13(−2±√22)
