Write the quadratic equation in general form and then choose the value of "b."(2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0
Answers
Answer 1
Answer:
first of all to transfer (2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0 into a form where we can plug it into the quadratic formula we need to use the FOIL method.
(2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0 becomes 2x*x+2x*6+-1*x+-1*6 which simplifies to 2x^2 + 12x - x - 6 and then we add like terms to get 2x^2 + 11x - 6
now that it is in the correct form we can identify "a" "b" and "c" by following this form ax^2 + bx + c looking back at the equation we got earlier 2x^2 + 11x - 6
