Find the zeros factoring vs square root method

The video tutorial explains how to find the zeros of a function by replacing F of X with zero. It covers two methods: using inverse operations and the square root method, and expanding and factoring the equation. The instructor demonstrates solving for X using both methods, emphasizing the importance of including ±1 when introducing the square root. The tutorial concludes with a question to engage students.

What is the first step in finding the zeros of a function using inverse operations?

• Divide both sides by two

• Multiply both sides by two

• Add one to both sides

• Subtract one from both sides

When using the square root method, what must you remember to include after taking the square root?

• Both positive and negative roots

• No roots are needed

• Only the negative root

• Only the positive root

What is the result of isolating X in the equation X + 2 = ±1?

• X = 0 and X = -2

• X = 1 and X = 3

• X = -1 and X = -3

• X = 2 and X = 4

In the expansion method, what is the first step after expanding the equation?

• Subtract a constant from both sides

• Add a constant to both sides

• Divide by the coefficient of X

• Combine like terms

What property is used to find the solutions after factoring the quadratic equation?

• Distributive Property

• Commutative Property

• Associative Property

• Zero Product Property
