Question

Given the quadratic equation 8-6x=-2x^2 complete the following:

A. Write the equation in standard form.
And then
B. Identify the values of a, b and c that you would use to solve this quadratic equation.
Both parts need answered.

Answer 1

a.
`2x^2-6x+8`

b. a=2, b=-6, and c=8

Explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic is
`ax^2+bx+c` written in descending order and can be found by using inverse operations to rearrange terms.

`8-6x=-2x^2\\\\8-6x+2x^2=-2x^2+2x^2\\\\2x^2-6x+8=0`
