What are the values for the coefficients and constant term of [tex]\(0 = 2 + 3x^2 - 5x\)[/tex]?

[tex]\[
\begin{array}{l}
a = \square \\
b = \square \\
c = \square
\end{array}
\][/tex]



Answer :

To determine the values of the coefficients and the constant term for the equation [tex]\(0 = 2 + 3x^2 - 5x\)[/tex], let’s rewrite this equation in the general quadratic form:

[tex]\[ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \][/tex]

Here, [tex]\(a\)[/tex], [tex]\(b\)[/tex], and [tex]\(c\)[/tex] represent the coefficients of [tex]\(x^2\)[/tex], [tex]\(x\)[/tex], and the constant term, respectively. Let's match the terms from our given equation to this standard form:

[tex]\[ 3x^2 - 5x + 2 = 0 \][/tex]

By comparing the given equation with the general form, we can identify the coefficients:

- The coefficient of [tex]\(x^2\)[/tex] (which is [tex]\(a\)[/tex]) is [tex]\(3\)[/tex].
- The coefficient of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] (which is [tex]\(b\)[/tex]) is [tex]\(-5\)[/tex] (note that the sign is included).
- The constant term (which is [tex]\(c\)[/tex]) is [tex]\(2\)[/tex].

So the values are:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{l} a = 3 \\ b = -5 \\ c = 2 \end{array} \][/tex]
