When solving the quadratic equation using the Quadratic Formula, what are the values of a, b, and c?: 3x^2 + 11x = -6

1 answer

To solve the quadratic equation using the Quadratic Formula, we first need to put the equation in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \).

Starting with the given equation:

\[ 3x^2 + 11x = -6 \]

We can add 6 to both sides to get:

\[ 3x^2 + 11x + 6 = 0 \]

Now, the equation is in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \).

From this equation, we can identify the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \):

  • \( a = 3 \)
  • \( b = 11 \)
  • \( c = 6 \)

So, the values are:

  • \( a = 3 \)
  • \( b = 11 \)
  • \( c = 6 \)
