Given two zeros learn how to determine the equation of your polynomial

The video tutorial explains how to reverse a mathematical process by setting zeros equal to X and using the zero product property. It demonstrates the application of the FOIL method to multiply terms and derive an equation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the steps involved in setting factors to zero and writing equations.

What is the first step in the process of working backwards from factors?

• Apply the FOIL method

• Set all factors equal to zero

• Multiply all terms

• Set zeros equal to X

Why do we set factors equal to zero in the zero product property?

• To simplify the equation

• Because they multiply to give zero

• To find the maximum value

• To apply the FOIL method

What is the purpose of setting an equation equal to zero?

• To find the sum of factors

• To determine the highest factor

• To apply the zero product property

• To simplify the equation

Which method is used to multiply terms in the final section?

• Factorization

• Backward multiplication

• FOIL method

• Zero product property

What is the result of applying the FOIL method to the terms X^2 + 4X - 3X - 12?

• X^2 + X + 12

• X^2 - X - 12

• X^2 + 7X - 12

• X^2 + X - 12
