Question

Identify the values of a, b, and c that would be used in the quadratic formula to solve the equation −9x = 13 − 5x2.

A. a = −9, b = 13, c = −5
B. a = −5, b = 9, c = 13
C. a = 13, b = 9, c = 5
D. a = 9, b = 5, c = 13

Answer 1

B.

You would first have to add 9 to each side so that the equation equaled 0. Then you could pull these numbers.
