Step-by-step solution

The quadratic equation of the given problem has already been arranged (that is, all the terms are on one side and 0 is on the other side) thus we can approach the question as follows:

In the problem, the question was asked: what is the value of the coefficientc c in the equation?

Let's remember the definition of a coefficient when solving a quadratic equation as well as the formula for the roots:

The rule says that the roots of an equation of the form

ax2+bx+c=0 ax^2+bx+c=0 are:

x1,2=b±b24ac2a x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

That is the coefficient
c c is the free term - and as such the coefficient of the term is raised to the power of zero -x0 x^0 (Any number other than zero raised to the power of zero equals 1:

x0=1 x^0=1 )

Next we examine the equation of the given problem:

3x2+5x=0 3x^2+5x=0 Note that there is no free term in the equation, that is, the numerical value of the free term is 0, in fact the equation can be written as follows:

3x2+5x+0=0 3x^2+5x+0=0 and therefore the value of the coefficientc c is 0.

Hence the correct answer is option c.
