Move between f(x) = ax² + bx + c and f(x) = a(x − r)(x − s), and use each form to find zeros, the axis of symmetry, the vertex and the y-intercept.
About 45 minutes
Read solutions from a graph, compare zeros with intersections, check by substitution, and choose meaningful answers in context.
About 45 minutes
Connect factors to graph roots, solve with the zero-product property, keep every solution, and interpret break-even points.
