Question

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?
-6x²-8x + 12 = 0
Oa=-6, b = -8, c = 12
O
a = 6, b = 8, c = 12
Oa 8, b= 12, c = 0
a=-8, b = 12, c = 0

Answer 1

first option

Explanation:

the standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax² + bx + c = 0 ( a ≠ 0 )

- 6x² - 8x + 12 = 0 ← is in standard form, and by comparison

a = - 6 , b = - 8 , c = 12
