Zero Product principle (x-r)(x-s)=0 for roots r and s. The two multiplied binomials will (usually) give a quadratic trinomial.

Example, #5:
roots or zeros -3 and 15.

Examples like #7,9,10 can be used to obtain something for , because if a is nonzero, it will not affect the truth for , for roots r and s.
