Chapter 12.3, Problem 12OE

To determine

To read: the equation $12t^2=0$ in standard form and tell what the values of a, b and c are.

Answer to Problem 12OE

The required answer is: the values are a = 12, b = 0 and c = 0

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given equation: $12t^2=0$

Calculation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is given by:

  $a{x}^2+bx+c=0$

  $12t^2=0$

(Equation is in standard form)

Hence, the values of a, b and c are:

  $\begin{array}{l}a=12\\ b=0\\ c=0\end{array}$
