P62 10­4 Factoring to Solve Quadratic Equations
Sep 2­8:31 AM
Zero Product Property
If ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0
What can x = to give you a zero in part of the problem???
(x + 5)(2x ­ 6) = 0
(x + 7)(x ­ 4) = 0
(3x ­ 6)(4x + 2) = 0

Solving by Factoring
1. Factor (Mult. to ac and Add to b)
2. Use Zero product property to find zeros
x2 ­ 8x ­ 48 = 0
x2 + 6x + 8 = 0
