Question

Identify the values of a, b, and c in this quadratic equation:

x2
8x + 12
A
a = 1 :b=8c = -12
B
a = 0 : b = -8 : c = 12
с
a = 1 : b=-8; C = 12
D
a = 0;b = -8; c= -12

Answer 1

C

a = 1 : b=-8; C = 12

Explanation:

I think you did not include the sign between the x^2 and the 8x...my guess is that it is a minus.

By process of elimination the answer is not B or D bc the a-value is 1 not 0.

Then the +12 you did include in the original question indicates that the c-value is 12 not -12 eliminating answer A.
