The solution of the quadratic equation bx\(^2\) + cx + a = 0 is given by
A
x = b \(\pm\) \(\frac{\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\)
B
x = c \(\pm\) \(\frac{\sqrt{b^2 - 4ab}}{2b}\)
C
x = -c \(\pm\) \(\frac{\sqrt{c^2 - 4ab}}{2b}\)
D
x = -b \(\pm\) \(\frac{\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2b}\)
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
bx\(^2\) + cx + a = 0
a = b; b = c; c = a
x = -b \(\pm\) \(\frac{\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\)
x = -c \(\pm\) \(\frac{\sqrt{c^2 - 4ab}}{2b}\)
