Zero Product Property

4. The solutions are x =

(a)  

The zero product property states that if ab=0, then a and/or b must be ​ (a)   .

This fact can be used to solve equations in factored form with these steps:

1. Set the equation equal to ​ (b)   if necessary.

2. ​ (c)   if necessary.

3. Set each factor equal to ​ (d)   and solve each simple equation.
