Identifying the values a, b, and c is the first step in using the quadratic formula to find solution(s) to a quadratic equation. what are the values a, b, and c in the following quadratic equation? −5x2 − 9x + 12 = 0

a: a = −9, b = 12, c = 0
b: a = −5, b = −9, c = 12
c: a = 5, b = 9, c = 12
d: a = 9, b = 12, c = 0

So, the answer is option B: a = −5, b = −9, c = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the quadratic Formula is  ax² + bx + c = 0

We need to compare the given quadratic equation to the general form

 ax² + bx + c = 0

−5x² − 9x + 12 = 0

So, we can deduce that

a = -5 , b = -9 and c = 12

So, the answer is option B: a = −5, b = −9, c = 12
