Using the Zero Product Property to Find the Zeros

How do you solve a quadratic equation using the zero product property?

The zero product property states that if the product of two quantities is zero, then one or both of the quantities must be zero. You can rewrite the equation you are trying to solve as ( x + 3 ) ( 2 x − 1 ) = 0 .

Does the zero product property apply for all equations?

FAQs on Zero Product Property The zero product property in algebra is applicable across quadratic equations and polynomial equations. This property says for any two expressions 'a' and 'b', whenever a × b = 0, either a = 0 or b = 0.

When zero product property in factoring what is the solution?

The Zero Product Property states that if ab=0, then either a=0,b=0, or both a and b equal 0. This property will be very helpful when we want to solve factored quadratic equations! The zero-product property is what allows us to find the zeroes of a polynomial by factoring it.
