Question

-2x² - 7 = 4x

How do I write this in standard form? Where are a, b, and c in this equation? How do I solve this with the quadratic equation?

Answer 1

standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Answer 2

@welshfella: Thank you.

Answer 3

What are a, b, and c?

Answer 4

they represent the quadratic

in your case standard form is
-2x^2 - 4x - 7 = 0

and a = -2, b = -4 and c = -7

Answer 5

* they represent the numbers in the quadratic function
