Solving quadratics by factoring

Solve by factoring:  2x²+ 7x + 6 = 0

• x= 3/2 and x = 2
• x = -3/2 and x = -2
• x = 6 and x = 7
• x = -6 and x = -7

Solve for x:

(x-5)(x+6)=0

• {5,5 }

• { -5,-5 }

• { -5,-6 }

• {5,-6 }

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

What are the factors AND solutions of x² + 2x – 3 = 0

• (x - 2)(x + 1); x=2, x=-1
• (x + 1)(x - 3); x=-1, x=3
• (x + 2)(x - 1); x=-2, x=1
• (x - 1)(x + 3); x=1, x=-3

What property would you use to solve the following?
(x-3)(x+2)=0

• Commutative Property
• Associative Property
• Zero Product Property
• Inverse Property

Solve using Zero-Product Property.

(2x - 2)(5x + 5) = 0

• x = -1

• x = -1 or x = 1

• x = 1

• x = -2 or x = 5

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

• Get factored form
• Find two numbers which add to make 6 and multiply to make -13
• Make it equal 0 by subtracting 3 on each side
• Type it all in a calculator.

Solve by factoring.

n² - 2n = 0

• n = 2 and 0

• n = -2 and 0

• n = 2

• n = 0

Solve

x² + 2x - 20 = 4

• x = -6, x = 4

• x = 6, x = -4

• x = 12, x = -2

• x = 8, x = -3
