Answer:

a - 3

b - 5

c - -2

Explanation:

The quadradic formula is:


x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a)

When:


ax^2+bx+c

This is the standard form of a quadradic equation.

We have the equation:


3x^2+5x-2\\\\

Recall the standard form.

'3' is in a's place, '5' is in b's place, and '-2' is in c's place.

Hope this helps you.
