Finding Zeros of Quadratic Functions by Factoring

This lesson teaches how to find zeros of quadratic functions by factoring. It explains the Zero Product Property, demonstrates finding zeros in both factored and non-factored forms, addresses common misunderstandings, and compares zeros of different functions. The zeros correspond to the x-intercepts on a graph.
