Find the zeros by factoring a quadratic factoring

The video tutorial explains how to find the zeros of an equation, which involves determining the values of X that make the Y coordinate zero. It covers solving linear and quadratic equations, introduces the zero product property, and demonstrates factoring polynomials to solve equations. The tutorial provides a step-by-step approach to rewriting polynomials as products and solving for zeros.

What does finding the zeros of a polynomial mean?

• Calculating the derivative of the polynomial

• Identifying the degree of the polynomial

• Determining the X values where the Y coordinate is zero

• Finding the maximum value of the polynomial

Which property allows us to set a product of terms equal to zero to find solutions?

• Zero Product Property

• Associative Property

• Distributive Property

• Commutative Property

What is the process of rewriting a polynomial as a product of terms called?

• Factoring

• Simplifying

• Expanding

• Differentiating

In the example given, what are the factors of the polynomial that result in zeros?

• X - 9 and X + 3

• X + 9 and X + 3

• X - 9 and X - 3

• X + 9 and X - 3

What are the zeros of the equation X - 9 = 0 or X - 3 = 0?

• X = 0 and X = 3

• X = -9 and X = -3

• X = 9 and X = 3

• X = 9 and X = -3
