What is the first step in solving a quadratic inequality?

• Finding the zeros by factoring or using the quadratic formula

• Graphing the equation

• Solving for y

• Simplifying the inequality

When plotting the zeros on a number line, what do the zeros represent?

• The points where the parabola intersects the y-axis

• The points where the parabola intersects the x-axis

• The vertex of the parabola

• The maximum and minimum points of the parabola

How do you write the solution for an inequality that is greater than zero?

• Using 'and' to connect the intervals

• Using 'or' to connect the intervals

• Using a single interval notation

• Using a compound inequality with 'and'

What is the difference between an 'and' and an 'or' inequality?

• 'And' means the solution is outside the interval, 'or' means the solution is within the interval

• 'And' means the solution is less than zero, 'or' means the solution is greater than zero

• 'And' means the solution is within the interval, 'or' means the solution is outside the interval

• 'And' means the solution is greater than zero, 'or' means the solution is less than zero

How do you factor a quadratic inequality that is not in standard form?

• By simplifying the inequality

• By graphing the equation

• By rewriting it in standard form and then factoring

• By solving for y

What is the purpose of using test points in solving quadratic inequalities?

• To find the vertex of the parabola

• To simplify the inequality

• To determine the sign of the inequality in different intervals

• To solve for y

In the final example, what are the zeros of the function 3x + 5 times x - 1?

• x = -5 and x = 1

• x = -5/3 and x = 1

• x = -1 and x = 5/3

• x = -1 and x = 5

How do you express the solution for the inequality 3x + 5 times x - 1 < 0?

• x < -5/3 and x > 1

• x < -5/3 or x > 1

• x > -5/3 or x < 1

• x > -5/3 and x < 1
