has the form:
ax2 + bx + c = 0
If necessary, we will need to rearrange into this form before we solve!
A Quadratic Equation…

If a·b = 0, what can we say about either a or b?
Either a = 0 or b = 0 SO… if (x + 2)(x – 3) = 0, we can say
x + 2 = 0 or x – 3 = 0
Therefore, x = -2 or x = 3
The zero-factor property:

1. Write in standard form:ax2 + bx + c = 0 2. Factor the non-zero side. 3. Set each factor equal to zero. 4. Solve each equation. 5. Check your answers in the original
equation.
To solve a quadratic equation:
