Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
Solve Equations by Factoring
When you use factoring to solve a quadratic equation,
you use the following property.
Zero Product Property
For any real numbers a and b, if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b =0, or both a and b = 0.
Example
Solve each equation by factoring.
a. 3x
2
= 15x
b. 4x
2
- 5x = 21
4x
2
- 5x = 21
Original equation
3x
2
= 15x
Original equation
4x
2
- 5x - 21 = 0
Subtract 21 from both sides.
3x
2
- 15x = 0
Subtract 15x from both sides.
(4x + 7)(x - 3) = 0
Factor the trinomial.
3x(x - 5) = 0
Factor the binomial.
4x + 7 = 0
or x - 3 = 0
Zero Product Property
3x = 0 or x - 5 = 0
