    Question

    What are the values of a, b, c for the equation 2 x to the power of 2 end exponent plus 5 x minus 8 equals 0.

    1. 2, -5, -8    
    2. 2, 5, -8    
    3. 2, 5, 8    
    4. -2, 5, -8    

    hintHint:

    Any equation of the form p (x) = 0, where p (x) is a polynomial of degree 2, is a quadratic equation

    The correct answer is: 2, 5, -8

      Step 1 of 1:
      We have given a quadratic equation 2 x to the power of 2 end exponent plus 5 x minus 8 equals 0.
      Now,
      2 x to the power of 2 end exponent plus 5 x minus 8 equals 0
      a = 2, b = 5, c = - 8

      In a general quadratic equation is a x squared plus b x plus c equals 0.
