How would I solve 0-2c^2+3c-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fist thing to solave anything it need to be expressed in form of equation here sould be 0 =2c ^2 +3c -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I don't understand because the question says "Subtract 2c^2+3c-4 from 0"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i am sure i wont be to solve for values of 'c'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not trying to solve for c I am just trying to solve this polynomial

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

@vinurules he's factoring

Subtract 2c^2+3c-4 from 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

0 - (2c^2+3c-4)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

0 - 2c^2 - 3c + 4 - 2c^2 - 3c + 4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

let me knw if u dont get it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 I sort of just don't understand why it turned the 2c^2 negative and not anything else. And I don't understand how you figured that out

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good question :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we use below :- - x + = - - x - = +

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when u multiply a 'negative' and a 'positive' u get a 'negative'

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when u multiply a 'negative' and a 'negative' u get a 'positive'

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

@nincompoop is excellent at explaining this more clearly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you for trying

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ha, you also try and see if you're able to understand something :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
