Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of a quadratic equation is often written as ...
ax² +bx +c = 0
The references to "a", "b", and "c" are to the coefficients in this form. Comparing this to your equation ...
x²-3x -2 = 0
we see that the coefficient of x², is 1, so a=1; the coefficient of x is -3, so b=-3, and the constant is -2, so c=-2.
