Answer 1

To identify the values of \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) in the quadratic equation, we need to rewrite the given equation in the standard form, which is \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\).

The original equation is:
\[ 5x^2 + 12x = 8 \]

First, we move all terms to one side of the equation:
\[ 5x^2 + 12x - 8 = 0 \]

Now, we can identify the coefficients:
- \(a = 5\) (the coefficient of \(x^2\))
- \(b = 12\) (the coefficient of \(x\))
- \(c = -8\) (the constant term)

So, the values are:
- \(a = 5\)
- \(b = 12\)
- \(c = -8\)
