ou are solving a quadratic by using the Quadric Formula, What needs to be done to this function before we can identify 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.
In this case, you need to set the equation equal to zero before you can identify the values for a, b, and c.
So, the equation becomes:
7x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0
Now you can identify a=7, b=2, and c=-4.
