Finding the Zeros of a Quadratic Equation

When finding the "zeros" of a quadratic function, we use "x=..." to denote a point on the x-axis (otherwise known as the x-intercept).

• True.

• False.

What are the steps to "find the zeros" of a quadratic?

• Sub in 0 and solve the expression.

• Factor then set each factor equal to zero and solve to find x-intercepts

• Set the expression equal to zero and solve

• Factor then set each factor equal to zero and solve to find y-intercepts

Solve for the values of x:

(x - 5)(x - 1) = 0

• (5, 0) or (1, 0)

• (-5, 0) or (-1, 0)

• (0, -5) or (0, -1)

• (0, 5) or (0, 1)
