Question 146363
standard form of a quadratric equation is ax^2 + bx +c = 0.

given equatiion should be written in that form .

3x^2 +10x + 8 = -17x -2
bring like terms together,

3x^2 + 10x + 17x +8 +2 =0.
3x^2 +27x +10 =0.

compare the above equation with standard form, we get a = 3 , b = 27 & c = 10.
