Introduction to the Quadratic Formula — Quiz

Question 1 • Algebra I

What are the values of A , b , and c in the quadratic equation 0 is equal to 1 half x squared minus 3 x minus 2 ?

Answer
A
A is equal to 1 half , b is equal to negative 3 , c is equal to negative 2
B
A is equal to 1 half , b is equal to negative 3 , c is equal to 2
C
A is equal to 1 half , b is equal to 3 , c is equal to 2
D
A is equal to 1 half , b is equal to 3 , c is equal to negative 2

Explanation

In standard form, a quadratic equation is written as ax² + bx + c = 0. Comparing that form with 0 = ½x² − 3x − 2 gives a = ½, b = −3, and c = −2. Therefore, the correct choice is A: a is ½, b is −3, and c is −2.
