Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square

True or false:
The solutions, roots, x-intercepts, and zeros of a quadratic equation 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

What is the first step to solving THIS equation by completing the square?
a² + 10a + 21 = 0

• Set the equation equal to zero
• Divide 10 by 2 and add the result to both sides
• Add a² and 10a together
• Subtract the 21

What is the first step to solving THIS equation by completing the square?

2a² + 10a = -12

• Set the equation equal to zero

• Divide 10 by 2, square it, and add the result to both sides

• Add a² and 10a together

• Divide both sides by 2
