Solving Quadratic Equations: Zero Product Property

Question 13 • 26MATH_Recovery_Alg1B22

Which equation is true for x = –6 and x = 2?

Answer
A
2x2 – 16x + 12 = 0
B
2x2 + 8x – 24 = 0
C
3x2 – 4x – 12 = 0
D
3x2 + 12x + 36 = 0

Explanation

An equation true for both x = −6 and x = 2 must have both values as roots. The polynomial with those roots is (x + 6)(x − 2) = x² + 4x − 12. Multiplying by 2 gives 2x² + 8x − 24 = 0, which is choice B.
