I can use the zero product property to solve quadratics by factoring SOLVING BY FACTORING
Warm Up Use your calculator to find the x-intercept of each function. 1. f(x) = x 2 - 6 x + 8 2. f(x) = -x 2 – 2 x + 3 Factor each expression. 3. 3 x 2 – 12 x 5. x 2 – 49 3 x(x – 4) 4. x 2 – 9 x + 18 (x – 6)(x – 3) (x – 7)(x +7)
Connections � We find zeros on a graph by looking at the x-intercepts or viewing the table and identifying the x-intercept as the point where y=0. � Using this knowledge determine how one could find the zeros of a quadratic algebraically. Share your method with your partner. � Use f(x) = x 2 – 3 x – 18 to help your discussion.
You can find the roots of some quadratic equations by factoring and applying the Zero Product Property. Reading Math • Functions have zeros or x-intercepts. • Equations have solutions or roots.
Example 2 A: Finding Zeros by Factoring Find the zeros of the function by factoring. f(x) = x 2 – 4 x – 12 = 0 (x + 2)(x – 6) = 0 x + 2 = 0 or x – 6 = 0 x= – 2 or x = 6 Set the function equal to 0. Factor: Find factors of – 12 that add to – 4. Apply the Zero Product Property. Solve each equation.
Example 2 B: Finding Zeros by Factoring Find the zeros of the function by factoring. g(x) = 3 x 2 + 18 x = 0 3 x(x+6) = 0 3 x = 0 or x + 6 = 0 x = 0 or x = – 6 Set the function to equal to 0. Factor: The GCF is 3 x. Apply the Zero Product Property. Solve each equation.

Quadratic expressions can have one, two or three terms, such as – 16 t 2, – 16 t 2 + 25 t, or – 16 t 2 + 25 t + 2. Quadratic expressions with two terms are binomials. Quadratic expressions with three terms are trinomials. Some quadratic expressions with perfect squares have special factoring rules.
Example 4 B: Find Roots by Using Special Factors Find the roots of the equation by factoring. 18 x 2 = 48 x – 32 18 x 2 – 48 x + 32 = 0 Rewrite in standard form. 2(9 x 2 – 24 x + 16) = 0 Factor. The GCF is 2. 9 x 2 – 24 x + 16 = 0 Divide both sides by 2. (3 x)2 – 2(3 x)(4) + (4)2 = 0 (3 x – 4)2 = 0 3 x – 4 = 0 or 3 x – 4 = 0 x= or x = Write the left side as a 2 – 2 ab +b 2. Factor the perfect-square trinomial. Apply the Zero Product Property. Solve each equation.
Example 4 A: Find Roots by Using Special Factors Find the roots of the equation by factoring. 4 x 2 = 25 4 x 2 – 25 = 0 (2 x)2 – (5)2 = 0 Rewrite in standard form. Write the left side as a 2 – b 2. (2 x + 5)(2 x – 5) = 0 Factor the difference of squares. 2 x + 5 = 0 or 2 x – 5 = 0 Apply the Zero Product Property. x=– or x = Solve each equation.
