The answer is:

a=5
b=9
c=0

Explanation:

1. You can use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations with the following standard form:

ax²+bx+c=0

2. The quadratic formula is:

x= (-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a

3. You have the following quadratic equation:

5x²+9x=0

4. Then:

5x
²+9x+0=0

a=5
b=9
c=0

5. When you substitute these values into the quadratic formula, you obtain:

x1=-9/5
x2=0
