Answer: The values are a = -4, b = 5 and c = -2.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the values of a, b and c in the following quadratic equation :
[tex]0=5x-4x^2-2\\\\\Rightarrow -4x^2+5x-2=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]
We know that
a general quadratic equation is of the following form :
[tex]ax^2+bx+c=0,~a\neq 0,[/tex]
where a is the coefficient of x², b is the coefficient of x and c is the constant term.
Comparing the general equation with equation (i), we get
coefficient of x², a = -4,
coefficient of x, b = 5
and
the constant term, c = -2.
Thus, the values are a = -4, b = 5 and c = -2.
