Transform the equation into an equivalent equations in the standard form ax^2+bx+c=0 1)x^2+9x=10 2)x^2=3x-8
I don't know how to begin
are they asking you for the values or a b and c?
if they do then rearrange the 1 and 2 equations into the first form and see which one it is
Let me check my textbook
1 and two are different questions
their asking for no values
Oh. 1) x^2+9x-10=0 so, then a=2, b=9, c=-10 2)x^2-3x+8=0 a=2, b=-3, c=8 I think this is what they mean? Without the values
So, the top of the answers are the standard formally written answers
I'm confused?
do they want to make them into standard form?
Yes, so that the equation = 0
so, bring everything to one side, and leave 0 at the other
Sounds like they just want you to mess around with the equations until it looks like ax^2+bx+c=0
How do I do that I learn it today
for 2)x^2=3x-8 x^2=3x-8 x^2-3x=-8 x^2-3x+8=0 You just bring everything over to the other side to make the eqation equal 0 like I just did.
so how do we do ti for one?
You try, and follow the steps that I gave you! :) Let's see if it works
x^2+9x-10=0 add 10 to 0
