Final answer:

None of the provided options match the given values of a = 1.00, b = 10.0, and c = -200. Therefore, there is no correct option in the final answer among the choices given.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the values of a, b, and c in a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, you need to match this standard form with the given equation.

None of the options provided (A, B, C, D) matches the equation provided in the question, which has constants a = 1.00, b = 10.0, and c = -200. However, to use the quadratic formula -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) / (2a) for solving the quadratic equation, you substitute these values of a, b, and c into the formula.

To note, none of the provided options A, B, C, or D are correct, as they all have different values of a, b, and c than the ones mentioned. Hence, if this were a multiple-choice question, there would be no correct option in the final answer provided.
