STEM:
If you can rewrite a quadratic equation as a product of factors that equals zero, you
can solve the equation. To solve equations in this manner, you must use all your
factoring skills.
Example:
What are the solutions of the equation x2â x = 20?
First rewrite the equation so that one side equals zero.
x2â x = 20
x2 â x â 20 = 20 â 20
x2 â x â 20 = 0
Subtract 20 from each side.
Simplify.
Now, factor to rewrite the equation as a product of factors equal to zero. Find two
integers whose product is â20 and whose sum is â1. The product of 4 and â5 is
â20, and the sum of 4 and â5 is â1.
x + 4 = 0
x + 4 â 4 = 0 â 4
x = â4
x2 â x â 20 = 0
(x + 4)(x â 5) = 0
or
or
or
x â 5 = 0
x â 5 +5 = 0 +5
x = 5
The solutions are â4 and 5.
These "solutions" tell us where our quadratic function passess through the x-axis (ie this tells us the "roots" aka "x -intercepts" aka "zeros" aka "solutions" aka "zeros" are)
Question:
In the graph provided in the example, what do the coordinates (-4,0) and (5,0) represent?
A
The y- intercept of the function (ie where the function passes through the y-axis)
B
The x-intercept of the function (ie where the function passes through the x-axis)
C
The vertex of the function
D
none of the above
E
the zeros of the quadratic function
F
the roots of the quadratic function

(05.02)a farmer has decided to divide his land area in half in order to plant soy and corn. calculate the area of the entire area so he knows how much soil is needed. a parallelogram with a height of 6 yards and side length 9 yards. the height forms a triangle with the slanted side of the rhombus with a base of 2.5 yards. rhombus is split into a soy half and a corn half. each bag of soil covers 40 square yards. how many bags should the farmer purchase?
