Teacher MJ introduces the topic of writing quadratic equations given roots. The video covers several examples, including integer and fractional roots, demonstrating how to transpose and use the FOIL method to find the quadratic equation. The teacher emphasizes understanding the process and encourages students to practice by solving additional problems.

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

• ax^2 + bx = 0

• ax + b = 0

• ax^2 + bx + c = 0

• ax^2 + c = 0

What does the FOIL method stand for?

• First, Outer, Inner, Last

• First, Outer, Inner, Least

• First, Outer, Inner, Linear

• First, Outer, Inner, Largest

Using the FOIL method, what is the result of (x - 5)(x - 9)?

• x^2 + 14x - 45

• x^2 - 14x + 45

• x^2 + 14x + 45

• x^2 - 14x - 45

If the roots of a quadratic equation are x = 5 and x = 9, what is the equation?

• x^2 + 14x - 45 = 0

• x^2 - 14x - 45 = 0

• x^2 + 14x + 45 = 0

• x^2 - 14x + 45 = 0

For roots x = -2 and x = 3, what is the quadratic equation?

• x^2 - x - 6 = 0

• x^2 + x + 6 = 0

• x^2 + x - 6 = 0

• x^2 - x + 6 = 0

How do you handle a root of zero in a quadratic equation?

• Write x + 0

• Ignore the root

• Write x - 0

• Simply write x

What is the quadratic equation for roots x = -9 and x = 0?

• x^2 + 9 = 0

• x^2 - 9 = 0

• x^2 + 9x = 0

• x^2 - 9x = 0

When dealing with fractional roots, what is the first step?

• Subtract fractions

• Add fractions

• Transpose directly

• Cross multiply

For roots x = -2/3 and x = 3/4, what is the quadratic equation?

• 12x^2 - x - 6 = 0

• 12x^2 + x - 6 = 0

• 12x^2 - x + 6 = 0

• 12x^2 + x + 6 = 0

What is the quadratic equation for roots x = 1/4 and x = 8?

• 4x^2 - 33x - 8 = 0

• 4x^2 - 33x + 8 = 0

• 4x^2 + 33x - 8 = 0

• 4x^2 + 33x + 8 = 0
