Identifying the values a, b, and c is the first step in using the Quadratic Formula to find solution(s) to a quadratic equation. What are the values a, b, and c in the following quadratic equation? −6x2 − 8x + 12
a = −6, b = −8, c = 12
a = 6, b = 8, c = 12
a = 8, b = 12, c = 0
a = −8, b = 12, c = 0

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation is defined as  

[tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]          ....(i)

then the quadratic formula is

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Consider the given quadratic equation is  

[tex]-6x^2-8x+12=0[/tex]          ....(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]a=-6,b=-8, c=12[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is A.

Answer:a = −6, b = −8, c = 12
