Lesson 8 Solving Equations
Zero Product Principle A product of factors is zero, if and only if, at least one of the factors is zero. Ex.1
Solving Quadratic Equations Many second degree (or quadratic) equations can be solved by factoring. Step 1: Write the equation in the general form: ax2+bx+c=0 Step 2: Factor. Step 3: Apply the zero product principle (2 cases). Step 4: Solve each case. Step 5: Write the solution set.
