6. Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

7. To solve a quadratic eqn. by factoring, you must remember your factoring patterns!

8. Zero Product Property Let A and B be real numbers or algebraic expressions. If AB=0, then A=0 or B=0. This means that If the product of 2 factors is zero, then at least one of the 2 factors had to be zero itself! The zeros of an equation are the solutions/roots/x- intercepts. First, set equal or zero, or if it is an equation in standard form then change y to a 0. Now, solve for x. The solutions will be the zeros of the equation. Solving or Finding the Zeros of an equation

9. Example: Solve. x 2 +3x-18=0

10. Example: Solve. 2t 2 -17t+45=3t-5

11. Example: Solve. 3x-6=x 2 -10

12. Example: Find the Zeros of y=x 2 -x-6 If you were to graph the eqn., the graph would cross the x-axis at (-2,0) and (3,0).
