Factoring Quadratic Equations/ Sum-Difference of Perfect Cubes

What are the zeros?

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

What is another word for zeros?

• y-intercepts
• roots
• vertex
• axis of symmetry

How many zeros does this parabola have? 

• 3
• 2
• 0
• 1

True or false:
The solutions, roots, x-intercepts, and zeros of a quadratic equation are all the same thing.

• True
• False, because the solution and root are the same but the x-intercept and zero are different
• False, because the x-intercept and root are the same but the zero and solution are different
• False, they are all different

Solve the equation by factoring:

x²-6x+8=0

• x = 2 or x = 4

• x = -2 or x = -4

• x = -2 or x = 4

• x = 2 or x = -4

Which answer choice correctly shows the quadratic equation above in factored form?

• (x + 7)(x - 2) = 0

• (x - 7)(x + 2) = 0

• (x - 7)(x - 2) = 0

• (x + 7)(x + 2) = 0

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 the following quadratic equation...

x² + 13x + 36= 0

• x = -2

  x = -18

• x = -9

  x = -4

• x = -3

  x = -12

• x = -6

  x = -6

ax²+bx+c=0  is the standard form of a quadratic equation.

• True
• False

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.
