factoring quadratic functions

What is the first step in solving a quadratic equation by factoring?

• Divide both sides by the variable

• Multiply both sides by zero

• Add numbers to both sides

• Isolate the variable

When factoring a quadratic equation, what should the first two terms of the binomials multiply to?

• The constant term

• The middle term of the quadratic

• The first term of the quadratic

• The last term of the quadratic

Which method is used to verify the factorization of a quadratic equation?

• Division method

• Addition method

• Subtraction method

• FOIL method

What does the zero product property state?

• If a product is zero, neither factor can be zero

• If a product is zero, one of the factors must be zero

• If a product is zero, the sum of the factors is zero

• If a product is zero, both factors must be zero

What are the solutions to the equation after applying the zero product property?

• B = 3 and B = 5

• B = -3 and B = -5

• B = 3 and B = -5

• B = 0 and B = 5
