Directions: Answer these questions pertaining to factorable quadratic equations. Choose the best answer.
1.
Solve for x:   x2 - x - 12 = 0

factorp1
       Choose:
 
x = -3; x = 4
(x + 3)(x - 4)
  x = 3; x = -4 (x - 3)(x + 4)



2.
Solve for x:   x2 = 5x

Choose:
x = -5; x = 0
x = 5; x = 0
x = 5 only x = 0 only
factor2



3.
Solve for a:   a2 = 49

factorp3
       Choose:
 
a = 7 only
a = 7; a = 7 (repeated)
 
a = -7 only
a = 7; a = -7



4.
Solve for m:   m2 - 5 = 4m

factorp4
       Choose:
 
m = {-1, 5}
m = {-5, 1}
 
m = {-4, -1}
m = {1, 4}
