To solve the quadratic equation \(5x^2 + 12x = 8\) using the Quadratic Formula, we first need to rewrite the equation in standard form, which is \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\).
Starting with the original equation:
\[ 5x^2 + 12x - 8 = 0 \]
Now, we can identify the coefficients \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\):
- \(a = 5\) (the coefficient of \(x^2\))
- \(b = 12\) (the coefficient of \(x\))
- \(c = -8\) (the constant term)
So the values are:
- \(a = 5\)
- \(b = 12\)
- \(c = -8\)
