Factor: 1. 2x 2 – 3x x 2 - 8x x 2 – 10x – 20
Zero-Product Property If ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0 3(0) = 0 (0)(3) = 0
Steps 1.Write in standard form 2.Factor the Quadratic Expression 3.Set each term = 0 4.Solve for x 5.Check
1.Solve by Factoring 2x²-11x= -15
2.Solve by Factoring x²+6x+8=0
3.Solve by Factoring 3x²=16x+12
Solve by taking the square root Steps: 1. Solve for x 2. Take the square root of both sides 3. Put ± next to the answers
4. Solve by taking the square root 5x² = 0
5. Solve by taking the square root 4x =0
6. Solve by taking the square root (x + 7) 2 = 49
