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 for the values of x:
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 0

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

Factor x²-11x+24

• (x-3)(x-8)
• (x-2)(x-12)
• (x+3)(x+8)
• (x+2)(x+12)

Solve by factoring. (HINT: Factor GCF 1st)

• x = 3, x = -6

• x = 0, x = 2

• x = 2, x = 3

• x = -2, x = 1
