Algebra 1: Solving a Quadratic Equation by Factoring

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 values of x when y = 0?

• { -3, 1 }
• { -2 }
• { -3, -1 }
• { 1, 3 }

Solve for the values of x:
(x - 3)(x + 6) = 0

• { -3, -6 }
• { 3, -6 }
• { -3, -6 }
• { 3, 6 }

What are the x- intercepts?

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

Solve
x² + 2x - 24 = 0

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

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
x² + 9x + 20 = 0

• x = -2, x = -10
• x = -3, x = -4
• x = -4, x = -5
• x = -4, x = -6

Solve
x² + 7x + 12 = 0

• x = -2, x = -10
• x = -3, x = -4
• x = -4, x = -5
• x = -4, x = -6

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
