Do Now Factor. x² + 8x + 16 y² – 4y – 21
Zero Product Property If two numbers multiply to zero, then either one or both numbers has to equal zero. If a • b = 0 then either a=0, b=0, or both a and b equal 0.
1. Solve (x + 3) (x – 5) = 0 Using the Zero Product Property, you know that either x + 3 = 0or x – 5 = 0 Solve each equation. x = - 3 or x = 5 Solutions: {-3, 5}
Solve (y – 3) (2y + 6) = 0 a. {-3, 3} b. {-3, 6} c. {3, 6} d. {3, -6}
Quadratic Equations A quadratic equation is an equation that contains a variable squared in it, and no higher powers of the variable. Ex: x2 + 3x – 10 = 0 y2 – 16 = 0 6a + a2 = 16
Solving Quadratic Equations The zero product property can be used to solve quadratic equations. Steps: 1) Set the equation equal to zero. * You want the squared term to be positive 2) Factor. 3) T out. 4) Check with your calculator.
Solve. a2 + 40 = 3a • {-8, 5} • {-5, 8} • {-8, -5} • {5, 8}
