Find the values of a, b, and c for the quadratic equation below

(remember ax^2 + bx + c = 0)
x^2 - 7x = 4

1 answer

To find the values of a, b, and c for the quadratic equation x^2 - 7x - 4 = 0, we need to identify the coefficients of x^2, x, and the constant term.

The given equation is already in the standard form of a quadratic equation. The coefficients for the terms x^2, x, and the constant term are as follows:

a = 1 (coefficient of x^2)
b = -7 (coefficient of x)
c = -4 (constant term)

Therefore, for x^2 - 7x - 4 = 0:
a = 1
b = -7
c = -4
