Question

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

Answer 1

a = 1, b = - 3 and c = - 2

Explanation:

Consider the standard quadratic equation

ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

x² - 3x - 2 = 0 ← is in standard form

with the coefficients of like terms being

a = 1, b = - 3 and c = - 2
