Solving Quadratics

What is the first step in solving 
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 0      ?

• Plug in zero for x
• Solve for x
• FOIL
• Set each binomial factor equal to zero

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

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

Solve by taking square roots:
k² - 6 = 43

• k = √37
• k = 37 or - 37
• k = 7, k = -7
• no solution

Solve using square roots.

4m² - 100 = 0

• m=25, -25

• m=96

• m=5, -5

• m=-96

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
• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

What are the zeros?

• x= 0 and x= -4
• x= 0 and x= 4
• y= 0
• x= 2

• A
• B
• C
• D
