Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 8x = 3

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3
• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

The quadratic equation can be used to solve quadratic equations that cannot be factored.

• True
• False

Solve for x.  Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
x² - 11x + 24 = 0

• x = -1.87, 12.87
• x = -12.87, 1.87
• x = -8, -3
• x = 3, 8
