Introduction to the Quadratic Formula

Question 7 • Common Core Algebra I 2014 - MA3109 B-CR

What are the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation –2x2 + 4x – 3 = 0?

Answer
A
a = 2, b = 4, c = 3
B
a = 2, b = 4, c = –3
C
a = –2, b = 4, c = 3
D
a = –2, b = 4, c = – 3

Explanation

Compare –2x² + 4x – 3 = 0 with the standard form ax² + bx + c = 0. The coefficient of x² is a = –2, the coefficient of x is b = 4, and the constant is c = –3, so the correct choice is D.
