Each of the following statements are FALSE. Correct the statements to make them instead be true: A polynomial equation is an equation that can be written in the form “polynomial expression equals one”. The Zero-Product Property states that if a ∙ b = 0, then a ∙ b = 0. The equation (x – 2) (x – 3) = 12 means that x – 2 = 12 or x – 3 = 12. The x – intercepts for a function can be found by setting x = 0.
