Question

When solving x(x+6)=2 by the quadratic formula, what is the value of c?

Answer 1

c=-2

Answer 2

Distribute and rearrange so that some quadratic function of x is equal to zero.\[x^2+6x-2=0\]Quadratic equations are of the general form:\[ax^2+bx+c=0\]So therefore\[c=-2\]For more solutions to textbook problems, be sure to check out http://www.slader.com/s/eWFrZXlnbGVl.
