Question

What are the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation 0=5x-4x^2-2

Answer 1

0 = 5x - 4x^2 - 2....rearrange
-4x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0

a = -4, b = 5, and c = -2

Answer 2

Answer: The values are a = -4, b = 5 and c = -2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the values of a, b and c in the following quadratic equation :

`0=5x-4x^2-2\\\\\Rightarrow -4x^2+5x-2=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

We know that

a general quadratic equation is of the following form :

`ax^2+bx+c=0,~a\\eq 0,`

where a is the coefficient of x², b is the coefficient of x and c is the constant term.

Comparing the general equation with equation (i), we get

coefficient of x², a = -4,

coefficient of x, b = 5

and

the constant term, c = -2.

Thus, the values are a = -4, b = 5 and c = -2.
