Unit 5 Test Review - Factoring and Solving Quadratics

Front

What is the Zero-Product Property?

Back

If the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.

Front

Solve using the Zero-Product Property: (x + 4)(x − 3) = 0

Back

x = -4 and x = 3

Front

What are the zeros of a quadratic function?

Back

The zeros are the values of x that make the function equal to zero.

Front

Find the zeros of the function: f(x) = x^2 - 2.5x - 11.25

Back

x = {-2.5, 4.5}

Front

What are the roots of a quadratic equation?

Back

The roots are the solutions to the equation, which can be found by factoring or using the quadratic formula.

Front

Solve for t: h(t) = -16t^2 + 8t + 24 when h(t) = 0

Back

t = 1.5 seconds

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants.

Front

What does it mean for a quadratic to be factored?

Back

Factoring a quadratic means expressing it as a product of its linear factors.

Front

Solve: x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0

Back

x = 2 and x = 3

Front

What is the vertex of a parabola?

Back

The vertex is the highest or lowest point of the parabola, depending on its orientation.
