Zero Product Property Review

The rule we can use to help us solve for the x-intercepts of a quadratic is called the ________ product property.

What is the first step in solving

(x + 2)(x - 3) = 0 ?

• Plug in zero for x

• Combine like terms

• FOIL

• Set each binomial factor equal to zero

(x + 4)(x + 7) = 0

• x = 4 and 7

• x = -4 and 7

• x = 4 and -7

• x = -4 and -7

Use the zero product property to solve the polynomial.

 $x\left(x-5\right)=0$  

• x=5

• x=0

• x=0 and x=-5

• x=0 and x=5

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

• Factors
• Products
• Multiples
• Zeros

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

Which equation is the standard form of a quadratic function?

• f(x) = mx + b

• f(x) = a(x - m)(x - n)

• f(x) = ax² + bx + c

• f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
