Factoring Standard Form to Factored Form

Solve by factoring.

b² + 2b - 24 = 0 (hint: find the zeros) FACTOR!

• x = 6 or x = -4

• x = -6 or x = -4

• x = 6 or x = 4

• x = -6 or x = 4

If the zeros of a quadratic equation are −2 and 3, the equation can be written as

• (x − 2)(x + 3) = y

• (x + 2)(x − 3) = y

• (x + 2)(x + 3) = y

• (x − 2)(x − 3) = y

Keith found the zeros of a graph to be \frac{1}{2} and -3 . What would the equation look like in factored form?

• y = (2x + 1)(x + 3)

• y = (2x – 1)(x + 3)

• y = (2x – 1)(x – 3)

• y = (2x + 1)(x – 3)

Given the graph, what are the factors

• (x − 2)(x + 1)

• (x − 2)(x − 1)

• (x + 2)(x − 1)

• (x + 2)(x + 1)

How would the equation of this graph look in factored form?

• y = (x – 5)²

• y = (x + 5)²

• y = x(x – 5)

• y = x(x + 5)

How would the equation of this graph look in factored form?

• y = (x – 4)²

• y = (x + 4)²

• y = x(x – 4)

• y = x(x + 4)
