1 Warm – Up # 9 Factor the following: 3x2 – 2x – 5 4x2 + 20x + 25

2 Solving Quadratic Equations
What happens when we solve for x after we factor a trinomial?

3 Vocabulary: Quadratic Equation – any equation where 2 is the highest exponent. Standard form of a quadratic equation -

4 The solutions(roots) of the equation are 3 and - 6
The zero-product law is used to solve an equation when one side is zero and the other side is a product of polynomial factors For example: m · n = 0, then m = 0 or n = 0. The solutions of such an equation are also called roots. Example: (x-3)(x+6) = 0 X - 3 = or x + 6 = 0 X = or x = - 6 The solutions(roots) of the equation are 3 and - 6

5 Examples: (k + 1)(k – 5) = 0 (a + 1)(a + 2) = 0 (4k + 5)(k + 1) = 0
4. (2m + 3)(4m + 3) = 0

6 Solve an equation by factoring:
6x2 + 12x = 0 6x2 + 12x = (Write the original equation) 6x(x + 2) = (Factor left side) 6x = or x + 2 = 0 (Zero-product property) X = or x = (Solve for x) The solutions of the equation are 0 and – 2.

7 Practice 1. b2 + 14b = 0 2. 24k k = 0

8 Examples:

9 What if we have a problem that looks like this…
What should we do??

10 Or like this… 9p2 -36 = 0
