Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
You may need to factor before using the Zero
Product Property. You can check your answers by
substituting into the original equation or by
graphing. If the factored form of the equation has
two different factors, the graph of the related
function will cross the x-axis in two places. If the
factored form has two identical factors, the graph
will cross the x-axis in one place.
