Question 6 • Algebra II A-IC v.4

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x2 – x – 6 = 0.

Answer
A
x = –3 or x = –2
B
x = –3 or x = 2
C
x = –2 or x = 3
D
x = 2 or x = 3

Explanation

Factor the quadratic: x² − x − 6 = (x − 3)(x + 2) = 0. By the zero product property, either x − 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0, so x = 3 or x = −2. Choice C gives x = −2 or x = 3.
