The solutions of a quadratic equation can also be called intercepts or zeros.
In factored form (or intercept form) (x + p)(x + q) = 0, the solutions can be found using the zero-product property
> in order for the product of two numbers to be 0, one or both numbers must be 0
Using the zero-product property:
(x + p) = 0 then x = -p
(x + q) = 0 then x = -q
