How to find the zeros of an quadratic equation - Free Math Help

The video tutorial explains how to find the zeros of a quadratic equation using the diamond cutter method. It begins by identifying the coefficients a, b, and c, and then applies the diamond cutter method to find factors that multiply to give a*c and add to give b. The equation is factored into binomials, verified using the FOIL method, and simplified by removing common factors. Finally, the zero product property is used to find the zeros of the equation.

What are the coefficients a, b, and c in the quadratic equation 3x^2 + 7x + 2 = 0?

• a = 3, b = 7, c = 2

• a = 2, b = 7, c = 3

• a = 7, b = 3, c = 2

• a = 3, b = 2, c = 7

Which of the following is a step in the diamond cutter method?

• Finding the sum of a and c

• Finding the product of a and c

• Finding the quotient of a and b
