Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation 0 = – 3x2 – 2x + 6 into the quadratic formula? Quadratic formula: x =

Respuesta :

The given equation is:

[tex]-3 x^{2} -2x+6=0[/tex]

a = coefficient of squared term = -3
b = co-efficient of x = -2
c = constant term = 6

Quadratic formula is:

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

Using the values of a,b and c, we can write:

[tex]x= \frac{-(-2)+- \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(-3)(6) } }{2(-3)} \\ \\ x= \frac{2+- \sqrt{76 } }{-6} \\ \\ [/tex]

The above formula correctly shows the substitution of values of a,b and c in the quadratic formula.

A quadratic equation is in the form of ax²+bx+c. The value of x is (2±√76)/(-6).

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is an equation whose leading coefficient is of second degree also the equation has only one unknown while it has 3 unknown numbers.

It is written in the form of ax²+bx+c.

The given quadratic equation when compared to the general quadratic equation, the value of a, b and c will be,

a = coefficient of x² = -3

b = coefficient of x = -2

c = value of constant = 6

The solution of the quadratic equation can be found as,

[tex]x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \dfrac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4(-3)(6)}}{2(-3)}\\\\x=\dfrac{2\pm \sqrt{4+72}}{-6}\\\\x=\dfrac{2\pm \sqrt{76}}{-6}[/tex]

Hence, the value of x is (2±√76)/(-6).
