1. 6.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
Write a quadratic equation with given roots

2. Roots or Zeros of the Quadratic Equation
The Roots or Zeros of the Quadratic Equation are the points where the graph hits the x axis.
The zeros of the functions are the input that make the equation equal zero.
Roots are 4,-3

3. To solve a Quadratic Equation
Make one side zero.
Then factor then set each factor to zero

14. How to write a quadratic equation with roots
Given r1,r2 the equation is (x - r1)(x - r2)=0
Then foil the factors,
x2 - (r1 + r2)x+(r1· r2)=0

15. How to write a quadratic equation with roots
Given r1,r2 the equation is (x - r1)(x - r2)=0
Then foil the factors,
x2 - (r1 + r2)x+(r1· r2)=0
Roots are -2, 5
Equation x2 - (-2+5)x+(-2)(5)=0
x2 - 3x -10 = 0

16. How to write a quadratic equation with roots
Roots are ¼, 8
Equation x2 -(¼+8)x+(¼)(8)=0
x2 -(33/4)x + 2 = 0
Must get rid of the fraction, multiply by the common dominator. 4
4x2 - 33x + 8 = 0
