Solve by factoring (Lesson 3.4 ex 1 and 2)

Solve for x:

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

• {5,5 }

• { -5,-5 }

• { -5,-6 }

• {5,-6 }

Solve by factoring:
x² - 9x = 0

• 9
• 0, 9
• -9, 0
• -9

Solve by factoring.

n² - 2n = 0

• n = 2 and 0

• n = -2 and 0

• n = 2

• n = 0

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.

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

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

Solve by factoring: x² + 3x - 18 = 0

• x = -3 and x = 6
• x = 3 and x = -6
• x = -9 and x = 2
• x = 9 and x = -2

Solve for a by factoring.
a² + 2a - 24 = 0

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

a² - 9a + 8 = 0

• {-4, 14}
• {-5, -4}
• {1, 8}
• {-4, 11}

p² + 12p + 35 = 0

• {-7, 5}
• {-9, -5}
• {-7, 0}
• {-7, -5}
