In this lesson, you will learn about the zero product property. You will use it to reason about the solutions to quadratic equations that each have a quadratic expression in factored form on one side and 0 on the other side.
When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:
- Explain the meaning of the "zero product property."
- Find solutions to quadratic equations when one side is a product of factors and the other side is zero.
Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
- 8.4.1: Introducing the Zero Product Property
- 8.4.2: Solving Equations of Increasing Complexity Using Reasoning
- 8.4.2: Self Check
