Chapter 9 Review

What should you do first in solving this equation?
x² + 6x - 13 = 3

• Get factored form
• Write down: a=1, b=6, c=-13
• Make it equal 0 by subtracting 3 on each side
• Type it all in a calculator.

Convert x²-6x+9 to factored form and identify the solution.

• (x-3)(x-3); x=3
• (x+3)(x+3); x=-3
• (x+4)(x+2); x=-4, -2
• Not factorable

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

Solve by factoring

• A
• B
• C
• D

Solve by taking square roots:
4m² - 100 = 0

• m=25, -25
• m=96
• m=5, -5

Solve
(4a + 3)(4a - 3) = 0

• a = ^-3/₄, ³/₄ 
• a = ^-4/₃, ⁴/₃ 
• a = ^-9/₁₆, ⁹/₁₆ 
• a = ^-16/₉, ¹⁶/₉ 

What is another word for zeros?

• y-intercepts
• roots
• vertex
