Given the quadratic equation:
5x - 4x^2 -2
Determine the values of a, b, and c.
Solution:
The given quadratic equation can be arranged in an order that is generally used:
Quadratic Equation Representation: ax^2 + bx + c =
We know that the term with a degree of 2, is the a, the term with no degree is b, and the constant is c.
5x - 4x^2 -2 = 0
- 4x^2 + 5x -2 = 0
Therefore, a = -4, b = 5 and c -2
