Determine the values of

a, b, and c for

the quadratic equation:

(Remember ax² +bx +c =0)

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

Determine the value of the discriminant and describe the number and type roots for the following:

x² + 7x + 13

• 101, 2 real roots

• 3, 2 real roots

• -101, 2 imaginary roots

• -3, 2 imaginary roots
