Quadratic Equation - Definition
• Up to now, we have studied polynomial expressions– No =
• Quadratic Equation: a polynomial equation of degree 2
• Recall that we previously covered linear equations– What is the difference between a linear and a
polynomial equation?

Zero Factor Property
• Zero Factor Property: If a ∙ b = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0– Holds for real numbers or factors
• Notice that the Zero Factor Property only applies to a polynomial equation written as products
• What method can be used to transform a polynomial into products?

Zero-Factor Property – Polynomial Already Factored
• Set each factor to 0 and solve for the variable– Apply the Zero-Factor Property
• Write the answer as a solution set

Zero Product Property – Polynomial Already Factored (Example)
Ex 1: Solve:
a) (2x – 9)(x + 4) = 0
b) (5x + 3)(x – 1) = 0

Zero-Factor Property – Not Factored
• Move all terms from one side to the other– i.e. set one side to zero– Easiest to work with when the coefficient of
the squared term is positive
• Factor using the strategies that we have discussed
• Apply the Zero-Factor property
• Write the answer as a solution set

Zero Product Property – Not Factored (Example)
Ex 2: Solve:
a) 6x2 – x – 1 = 0
b) x2 + 4x – 12 = 0

Zero Product Property – Not Factored (Example)
Ex 3: Solve:
a) x2 = 8x – 15
b) x3 = 25x
c) x3 + 3x2 = 28x

Zero Product Property – Not Factored (Example)
Ex 4: Solve:
a) (5x + 2)(2x + 1) = 3
b) (3x + 2)(3x – 2) = 12
