Quadratic Factors and Zeroes

If a polynomial has 2 factors, it will have 2 zeros (or 1 zero with a multiplicity of 2).

• True

• False

Sum of the zeros of the polynomial x²+7x+10 are

Suzie solves the equation below:
x² + 4x - 12 = 2
(x - 2)(x + 6) = 2, 
by setting x -2 = 0 and x + 6 = 0. 
Her solutions are x = 2 and x = -6.
Is Suzie correct? Why or why not?

• Yes, she factored correctly and then used the zero product property

• Yes, she factored correctly and then square rooted.

• No, she did factor correctly, but she can't use the zero product property as shown.

• No, she didn't factor correctly so the rest of her work is wrong. 

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing.

a² + 10a + 21 = 0

• ± √21

• -3 , -7

• 3 , 7

• 28 , -7
