How to use zero product property to solve a quadratic in factored form

The video tutorial explains the zero product property, demonstrating how to solve equations where the product of terms equals zero. It walks through solving the equation step-by-step, verifying solutions by substituting values back into the original equation, and introduces the concept of solution sets, including their notation and usage in tests.

What is the zero product property used for?

• To solve equations where the product of terms is zero

• To solve equations with a difference of zero

• To solve equations with any product

• To solve equations with a sum of zero

How do you solve the equation -3X = 0?

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Add 3 to both sides

• Divide both sides by -3

What happens when you substitute X = 0 into the equation -3X?

• The result is 3

• The result is 1

• The result is -3

• The result is 0

What is a solution set?

• A set of expressions

• A set of equations

• A set of possible solutions

• A set of variables

How are solutions often represented in a solution set?

• With curly brackets

• With square brackets

• With angle brackets

• With parentheses
