Question

The values of a, b and c for the equation 8x² - 2x = 1 are:

8, -2, and 1 respectively.
8, 2, and 1 respectively.
8, -2, and -1 respectively.

Answer 1

8, -2, and -1 respectively

Explanation:

ax² - bx - c = 0

8x² - 2x = 1

8x² - 2x - 1 = 0

a = 8

b = -2

c = -1

8, -2, -1 respectively

Answer 2

The values of a, b and c can be easily determined if we arrange the terms of the given quadratic expression from the highest power to the lowest such as 8X²-2X-1=0.
Tha value of variables a, b, and c are enumerated below:
a=8
b-2
c-1
