Solving Quadratics by Factoring CA 14.0, 23.0
Objective - To solve a quadratic equation by factoring
Zero Product Property If , then a = 0 or b = 0. Linear Equations Quadratic Equations Zero Product Property If , then a = 0 or b = 0.
Use the Zero Product Property to solve for x.
Use the Zero Product Property to solve for x.
Solving Quadratics by Factoring Step 1: Write the equation in STANDARD FORM! y = ax2 + bx + c Step 2: SET y = 0 !!!! REMEMBER you are SOLVING (which means you want the x-intercepts)! Step 3: Find the GCF. Step 4: Factor the quadratic by special pattern or by factor cross. Step 5: Use the ZERO PRODUCT PROPERTY.
