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
x² + 2x - 24 = 0

• x = -6, x = 4
• x = 6, x = -4
• x = 12, x = -2
• x = 8, x = -3

Solve
x² + 13x + 12 = 0

• x = -1, x = -12
• x = -1, x = -24
• x = -2, x = -6
• x = -2, x = -12

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

Factor: 49x² - 100

• (49x + 100)(x - 1)
• (7x - 10)(7x + 10)
• (49x - 10)(x + 10)
• (7x -10)(7x - 10)

Identify the 'a' value:
 y = 16x² - 8x - 24

• 16
• 8
• -8
• -24

Identify the 'b' value:
 y = 16x² - 8x - 24

• 16
• -8
• 8
• -24

Identify the 'c' value:
 y = 16x² - 8x - 24

• 16
• -8
• 24
• -24

What is this formula?

• This is the speed of light formula.
• This is the quadratic formula.
• This is the zero product property.
• This is scary.

Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 8x = 3
*remember right side should =0

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3
• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3
