Question 1 (1 point) (08.03 LC) Identifying the values a, b, and c is the first step in using the Quadratic Formula to find solution(s) to a quadratic equation. What are the values a, b, and c in the following quadratic equation? -3x² - 5x + 9 =0 0.b Od Questions 1 a = 5, b=9, c=0 a = 3, b = 5, c=9 a = -3, b = -5, c = 9 a = -5, b = 9, c=0​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Option B. a = −5, b = −9, c = 12

The general form of the quadratic equation is as following

ax² + bx + c = 0

Where a, b and c are constants.

And the given equation is −5x2 − 9x + 12 = 0

Comparing the given equation to the general form

ax² + bx + c = 0

−5x2 − 9x + 12 = 0

So, a = -5 , b = -9 and c = 12

Identifying the values a, b, and c is the first step in using the Quadratic Formula to find solution(s) to a quadratic equation.

So, the answer is option B: a = −5, b = −9, c = 12
