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

Determine the values of

a, b, and c for

the quadratic equation:

4x² – 8x = 3

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3

• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3

• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
