How to factor a quadratic equation when c=0 - Free Math Help - Online Tutor

The video tutorial explains how to find the roots of a quadratic function without a constant term. It begins with factoring out common terms, then applies the zero product property to solve the equation. The tutorial concludes by graphing the solutions, showing where the graph crosses the x-axis.

What is the first step in solving a quadratic equation when there is no constant term?

• Use the quadratic formula

• Complete the square

• Factor out common terms

• Graph the equation

When factoring the expression X^2 - 8, what common term is factored out?

• X^2

• X

• 8

• 0

What property is used to solve the equation after factoring?

• Zero Product Property

• Commutative Property

• Distributive Property

• Associative Property

If X^2 - 8 = 0 is factored as X(X - 8) = 0, what are the solutions for X?

• X = 4 and X = -4

• X = 8 and X = -8

• X = 0 and X = -8

• X = 0 and X = 8

How would the graph of the equation X^2 - 8 = 0 intersect the X-axis?

• At X = 0 and X = 8

• At X = 2 and X = -2

• At X = 0 and X = -8

• At X = 4 and X = -4
