Solving by Quadratics by Factoring

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:

3x² + 18x +15 = 0

Hint: Factor GCF first.

• x = 3, 2

• x = 5, 1

• x = -5, -1

• x = -3, -2

Solve
x² + 2x - 24 = 0

• x = -6, x = 4

• x = 6, x = -4

• x = 12, x = -2

• x = 8, x = -3

Solve
x² + 9x + 20 = 0

• x = -2, x = -10

• x = -3, x = -4

• x = -4, x = -5

• x = -4, x = -6

Solve
x² + 7x + 12 = 0

• x = -2, x = -10

• x = -3, x = -4

• x = -4, x = -5

• x = -4, x = -6

Solve
x² + 13x + 12 = 0

• x = -1, x = -12

• x = -1, x = -24

• x = -2, x = -6

• x = -2, x = -12

Solve:
x² - 49 = 0

• x = -7, x = 7

• x = -7

• x = 7

• x = -7, x = 1

Solve
6x² + 17x + 12 = 0

• x = -4/3, x = -3/2

• x = 9, x = 8

• x = 4, x = 3

• x = -4, x = -3

Factor
3a² + 4a + 1

• (7a-10)(a-8)

• Not factorable

• (3a+1)(a+1)

• (3a-1)(a-1)

Factor
k² - 2k - 24

• (k+4)(k-6)

• (k+4)(k+6)

• (k+6)(k-1)

• (k-4)(k+6)
