When solving this quadratic by using the Quadratic Formula, what are the values of a, b, and c?: -3x^2 + 10x = -9

1 answer

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

The given equation is:

\[ -3x^2 + 10x = -9 \]

To bring it to standard form, we add 9 to both sides:

\[ -3x^2 + 10x + 9 = 0 \]

Now, we can identify the coefficients \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \):

  • \( a = -3 \)
  • \( b = 10 \)
  • \( c = 9 \)

So, the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are:

  • \( a = -3 \)
  • \( b = 10 \)
  • \( c = 9 \)
