Question

Give the values of a, b, and c from the general form of the equation (2x + 1)(x - 2) = 0.
Step by Step Please

Answer 1

Y U NO MULTIPLY?

Answer 2

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow (2x + 1) \times (x - 2) = 0 }\)

After multiplying those,you'll get an equation in the form \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\)

Answer 3

Just compare the values of a, b and c with the equation you get.

Answer 4

a would be the coefficient of \(x^2\).
b would be the coefficient of \(x\)
c would be the coefficient of \(x^0\) aka a constant.
