Question

To solve the equation -2x² - x + 1 = 0 using the quadratic formula, what would be the value of b

Answer 1

Answer: -1

Explanation:

Since the quadratic equation is in standard form, (ax² + bx + c), the coefficients of each term are the number in front of the x² or x.

Therefore,

a = -2

b = -1

c = 1

b = -1
