Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Solve by factoring: x² - 9x + 20 = 0

• x = -4 and x = -5
• x = 20 and x = -9
• x = 4 and x = 5
• x = -4 and x = 5

Solve by factoring: x² + 3x - 18 = 0

• x = -3 and x = 6
• x = 3 and x = -6
• x = -9 and x = 2
• x = 9 and x = -2

Solve for the values of x:
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 0

• { 2, 3 }
• { -2, -3 }
• { 2, 3 }
• { -2, 3 }

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

• Get factored form
• Find two numbers which add to make 6 and multiply to make -13
• Make it equal 0 by subtracting 3 on each side
• Type it all in a calculator.

Solve using Zero-Product Property.

(2x - 2)(5x + 5) = 0

• x = -1

• x = -1 or x = 1

• x = 1

• x = -2 or x = 5

Solve by factoring
