Solving quadratics by factoring (need to set = 0 first)

What should you do first in solving this equation?
x² + 6x - 13 = 3

• Get factored form
• Write down: a=1, b=6, c=-13
• Make it equal 0 by subtracting 3 on each side
• Type it all in a calculator.

ax²+bx+c=0  is the standard form of a quadratic equation.

• True
• False

True or false:
The solution, root, x-intercept, and zero of a problem are all the same thing.

• True
• False, because the solution and root are the same but the x-intercept and zero are different
• False, because the x-intercept and root are the same but the zero and solution are different
• False, they are all different
