Standard Form Quadratic Equation Quadratic equations can be written in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a, b, and c are real numbers with a 0. Standard form for a quadratic equation is in descending order equal to zero. BACK
Examples of Quadratic Equations Standard Form BACK
Zero Product Property If a and b are real numbers and if ab =0, then a = 0 or b = 0. BACK
Solve the equation (x + 2)(2x - 1)=0 • By the zero factor property we know... • Since the product is equal to zero then one of the factors must be zero. OR BACK
