Question

Consider the equation 3x2−2x+5=0. What are the values of a, b, and c?

Answer 1

So a = -2, b = 3 or 2, and c = 5.

Explanation:

An equation like this is usually setup as: ax + by + c = 0

So assuming that with 3 x 2 one of the is y you can rearrange:

-2x + 3 x 2 + 5 = 0

So a = -2, b = 3 ( or 2 depending on which one is y), and c = 5.
