Algebra II: Quadratic Equations - Factoring (Level 2 of 10)

The video tutorial reviews solving quadratic equations by factoring, focusing on quadratic binomials. It explains the general procedure, types of quadratic equations, and provides three examples of solving quadratic binomials using the zero product property. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of factoring and setting equations to zero to find solutions.

What is the first step in solving a quadratic equation by factoring?
