Factored Form of Quadratic Equations

In f(x) = a(x - p)(x - q), what does "a" tell us?

• The slope

• If the Parabola opens up or down

• x coordinate of the x - intercept

• y coordinate of the y - intercept

Solve 2x² - 7x + 6 = 0 by factoring

• x = -3/2 and x = -2

• x = -3 and x = -2

• x = 3 and x = 2

• x = 3/2 and x = 2

Solve using Zero-Product Property.

(2x - 2)(5x + 5) = 0

• x = -1

• x = -1 or x = 1

• x = 1

• x = -2 or x = 5
