Question

When the following quadratic equation is written in general form, what is the value of "c"?

Answer 1

First option is correct.

Explanation:

The general form of a quadratic function is

`ax^2+bx+c=0` .... (1)

Where a≠0.

The given equation is

`-(3)/(4)x^2+2=0`

Since the leading coefficient is negative and a fraction value, therefore multiply both sides by -4, to make is a positive integer.

`-4(-(3)/(4)x^2+2)=0`

`-4(-(3)/(4)x^2)-4(2)=0`

`3x^2-8=0` .... (2)

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

`c=-8`

Therefore the first option is correct.
