8 x^{2} - x - 10 = 1

$8 x^{2} - x - 10 = 1$

Step 1

Move all terms to the left side of the equation and simplify.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Subtract

1

$1$ from both sides of the equation.

8 x^{2} - x - 10 - 1 = 0

$8 x^{2} - x - 10 - 1 = 0$

Step 1.2

Subtract

1

$1$ from

- 10

$- 10$ .

8 x^{2} - x - 11 = 0

$8 x^{2} - x - 11 = 0$

8 x^{2} - x - 11 = 0

$8 x^{2} - x - 11 = 0$

Step 2

Once the quadratic is in standard form, the values of

a

$a$ ,

b

$b$ , and

c

$c$ can be found.

a x^{2} + b x + c

$a x^{2} + b x + c$

Step 3

Use the standard form of the equation to find

a

$a$ ,

b

$b$ , and

c

$c$ for this quadratic.

a = 8

$a = 8$ ,

b = - 1

$b = - 1$ ,

c = - 11

$c = - 11$
