For this case we must find the values a, b, c:
[tex]2 (1.2x + 0.3) (x-0.5) + (0.5x ^ 2 + 2.5x-1.3) =\\(2.4x + 0.6) (x-0.5) + (0.5x ^ 2 + 2.5x-1.3) =[/tex]
We apply distributive property:
[tex](2.4x ^ 2-1.2x + 0.6x-0.3) + (0.5x ^ 2 + 2.5x-1.3) =\\(2.4x ^ 2-0.6x-0.3) + (0.5x ^ 2 + 2.5x-1.3) =[/tex]
We finish the term:
[tex]2.9x ^ 2 + 1.9x-1.6[/tex]
Answer:[tex]a = 2.9\\b = 1.9\\c = -1.6[/tex]
