Answer

Fill the blanks with $1,\quad-4,\quad-1$

Work Step by Step

We need to rewrite the equation in the form $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$, so we add $-4x-1$ to both sides to obtain $x^{2}-4x-1=0$ $a$ is the coefficient of $ x^{2}\qquad$ ... here $a=1$ $b$ is the coefficient of $ x\qquad$ ... here $a=-4$ $c$ is the constant$\qquad$ ... here $c=-1$ Fill the blanks with $1,\quad-4,\quad-1$
