Question 100251: Could you kindly help me.

True or False. Explain your answer.
For the equation, 3x2 = 4x � 7, we have a = 3, b = 4, c = -7

Answer by bucky(2189) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is FALSE.
.
You are given:
.

.
and asked if a = 3, b = 4, and c = -7
.
You find a, b, and c by using the standard quadratic form:
.

.
But the equation you were given is not in this form. The right side of the equation must
equal zero and the left side must contain all the other terms in descending powers of x.
.
So, you need to get the equation you were given into the same form. Do that by subtracting
4x - 7 from both sides of the given equation. This results in:
.

.
You can now compare this equation to the standard quadratic form of:
.

.
By comparing term by term you can see that: a = 3, b = -4, c = +7. Except for a, these values
are not the same as the values you were asked about in the problem because the signs for
b and c do not agree with what we found.
.
Therefore, the answer to this question is false.
.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem.
