  2. Terms www.themegallery.com

  3. Zero Factor Theorem • If p and q are algebraic expressions, then pq=0 if and only if p=0 or q=0 • Example: (x+2)(2X-4)=0; x+2=0 and/or 2x-4=0 • Steps • Get all variables & constants set equal to zero • Factor • Set each factor equal to zero • Solve each factor individually • CHECK YOUR ANSWER

  4. Greatest Common Factor (GCF) • Look for the largest common number and/or variables in each term • Divide each term by the common terms

  5. Grouping

  6. Rainbow Method (2nd degree Polynomial)

  7. Solving by Factoring • Solve 3x2=10-x
