Solving a quadratic to find the zeros a is not 1

The video tutorial explains the relationship between zeros, solutions, and X intercepts. It covers the process of setting a function equal to zero and factoring it to find solutions. The teacher demonstrates different possibilities for factoring, focusing on inner and outer multiplication to achieve the correct middle term. The tutorial concludes with finding the final factored form and solving the equation, emphasizing the importance of practice.

What is the relationship between zeros, solutions, and X intercepts?

• They are essentially the same thing.

• X intercepts are unrelated to zeros and solutions.

• Zeros are only related to solutions, not X intercepts.

• They are completely different concepts.

What is the first step in solving for zeros in a function?

• Multiply the function by 2.

• Divide the function by X.

• Set the function equal to 0.

• Set the function equal to 1.

When factoring an equation, what should you consider about the terms?

• Only their signs.

• Both their coefficients and signs.

• Only their exponents.

• Only their coefficients.

What is the purpose of multiplying inner and outer terms in factoring?

• To eliminate the terms.

• To achieve a specific difference.

• To simplify the equation.

• To find the sum of the terms.

In the example given, what was the final factored form used to solve the equation?

• 9X + 2

• 3X - 2

• 3X + 1

• 9X - 3
