Which of the following mean the same thing as "roots?"

• x-intercepts

• zeros

• y-intercepts

• solutions

Factor:

x² + 11x + 24

• (x + 6)(x + 4)

• (x + 12)(x + 2)

• (x - 8)(x - 3)

• (x + 8)(x + 3)

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

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

What are the values of x when y = 0?

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

Factor
k² - 2k - 24

• (k+4)(k-6)
• (k+4)(k+6)
• (k+6)(k-1)
• (k-4)(k+6)

What are the x- intercepts?

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

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
