Solving Quadratics by Zero

In the equation
 (x + 2)(x - 3) = 0, the binomials are called...?

• Factors
• Products
• Multiples
• Zeros

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 + 2)(x - 3) = 0

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

Solve for the values of x:
(2x - 1)(x + 4) = 0

• { 1/2, -4 }
•  { 1/2, 4 }
• { 2, -4 }
• { -2, 4 }

Solve and find your x-intercepts:
0=x(x - 6)

• x=0 and x=-6
• x=1 and x=-6
• x=0 and x=6
• x=6

Solve and find your zeros:
z(z - 15)=0

• z=0 and z=15
• z=0 and z=-15
• z=-15
• z=15

True or false:
The solution, root, x-intercept, and zero of a problem 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

What are the zeros of (2x+5)(x-6)=?

• -6, 5/2

• -5/2, 6

• 6, 2

• 5, -6

Solve for X:

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

• {5,5 }

• { -5,-5 }

• { -5,-6 }

• {5,-6 }

Solve for x: x(x-3)(x-4) = 0

• {0,3,4 }

• {3,4 }

• { 0,-3,-4 }

• { }
