You are solving a quadratic by using the Quadric Formula, What needs to be done to this function before we can identitify a, b, and c? 7x^2 + 2x =4
The quadratic first needs to be factored.
The like terms need to be combined.
The equation needs to be set to zero.
We need to add 4 on both sides of the equation.
The function 7x^2 + 2x = 4 needs to have all terms on one side of the equation and set equal to zero before we can identify a, b, and c in the quadratic formula.
First, we need to rearrange the function by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation to put all terms on one side:
7x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0
Now we can identify a=7, b=2, and c=-4 in the quadratic formula.
