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

a = −6, b = −8, c = 12
a = 6, b = 8, c = 12
a = 8, b = 12, c = 0
a = −8, b = 12, c = 0

Answer 1

Answer a is correct

Answer 2

Answer: A!

Step-by-step explanation: The quadratic formula is ax2+bx+c, so you just plug in and see which ones go with the equation, a=-6 (-6x2) b=-8 (+-8 or -8) and c=12 (+12) Hope this helps
