Question

What are the values of a, b and c in the quadratic equation -2x2+4x -3=0

Answer 1

See below in bold.

Explanation:

-2x^2 + 4x - 3 = 0 Compare this with the standard form:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

We see that a = -2, b = 4 and c = -3.

Answer 2

a = - 2, b = 4, c = - 3

Explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax² + bx + c = 0 ( a ≠ 0 )

Compare - 2x² + 4x - 3 = 0 to the standard, giving

a = - 2, b = 4, c = - 3
