• Apply the Zero Product Property

• Graph the equation

When factoring a quadratic equation, what are you looking for?

• Two numbers that multiply to the coefficient of x

• Two numbers that add to the coefficient of x

• Two numbers that multiply to the constant term

• Two numbers that add to the constant term

What is the Zero Product Property used for?

• To divide the factors

• To find the sum of the factors

• To set each factor equal to zero

• To multiply the factors

What are the solutions to a quadratic equation also known as?
