Solve
4m² - 100 = 0

• m=25, -25
• m=96
• m=5, -5
• m=-96

Solve by factoring,

a² + 2a - 24 = 0

• a = -6, 4

• a = 6, -4

• a = 12, -2

• a = 8, -3

Solve by taking square roots:
5b² - 4 = 41

• b = 9, b = -9
• b = 3, b = -3
• b = 8, b = -8
• no solution

Solve by taking square roots:
k² - 6 = 43

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

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

b² - 4ac would equal: y = 2x² -x -3

• 25
• -23
• -25
• 0

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 using Zero-Product Property.
(x+4)(x-3) = 0

• x = 4 and x = -3
• x = 2 and x = 1
• x = -4 and x = 3
• x = -2 and x = 1

Solve

(x+6) (x-4) = 0

• x = -6, x = 4

• x = 6, x = -4

• x = 12, x = -2

• x = 8, x = -3

Solve by factoring,

x² + 9x + 20 = 0

• x = -2, x = -10

• x = -3, x = -4

• x = -4, x = -5

• x = -4, x = -6
