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

A. a = 1/2, b = 3, c = 2

B. a = 1/2, b = -3, c = -2

C. a = 1/2, b = 3, c = -2

D. a = 1/2, b = -3, c = 2

The values of a, b and c are.

a = 2, b = - 3 and c = - 2

None of the options are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadratic equation: 0 = 2x² - 3x - 2

Required: The value of a, b and c.

The general format of a quadratic equation is

ax² + bx + c = 0

So, we start by re-writing the given quadratic equation to give.

2x² - 3x - 2 = 0.

Then we make comparisons base on the position of each unit element of the quadratic equation

ax² = 2x²

Divide both sides by x²

a = 2

bx = - 3x

Divide both sides by x

b = - 3

And lastly

c = - 2.

Hence, the values of a, b and c are.

a = 2, b = - 3 and c = - 2

None of the options are correct.
