True or false:
The solutions, roots, x-intercepts, and zeros of a quadratic equation are all the same thing.

• True
• False, because the solution and root are the same but the x-intercept and zero are different
• False, because the x-intercept and root are the same but the zero and solution are different
• False, they are all different

Which of the following equations matches standard form of a quadratic?

• ax + by = c
• y = a(x - h)² + k
• y = ax² + bx + c
• y = mx + b

Solve the equation using the zero product property.

3x(2x - 4) = 0

• x = -1/3 or x = -2

• x = 0 or x = 2

• x = 0 or x = -2

• x = -1/3 or x = 2

Factor
k²+7x+10

• (k+2)(k+5)
• (k-2)(k-5)
• (k+10)(k+4)
• (k+2)(k-5)

Factor
9x²-6x-8

• (3x+2)(3x-4)
• (3x+2)(3x+4)
• (3x-2)(3x-4)
• (x-1)(9x+8)

Solve
x² + 2x - 24 = 0

• x = -6, x = 4
• x = 6, x = -4
• x = 12, x = -2
• x = 8, x = -3
