Remember that a quadratic equation in STANDARD FORM looks like this:
2
y = ax + bx + c
So, how do we solve for x?
[
Solving for x is finding the x­intercepts. The y­coordinates of the x­intercepts are 0. Therefore, we should set y equal to zero and solve for x.

Let's solve for x: y = 2x2 ­ 11x + 15 Step 1: Set y equal to zero.
y = 2x2 ­ 11x + 15
0 = 2x2 ­ 11x + 15
Step 2: Factor.
Step 3: Use the zero product rule and solve.
