Finding the Zeros of a Quadratic Equation

What are the steps to "find the zeros" of a quadratic?

• Sub in 0 and solve the expression.

• Factor then set each factor equal to zero and solve to find x-intercepts

• Set the expression equal to zero and solve

• Factor then set each factor equal to zero and solve to find y-intercepts
