Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring


I. Model Problems
In the following examples you will solve quadratic equations by factoring.
Example 1: Solve:
.
Write down the equation.
Rearrange so the equation is equal to zero (
).
Factor.
Apply Zero Product Principle: if the product is
zero, either one of the factors or both of the factors
equal zero.
Apply additive inverse.

The solutions are:


Example 1: Solve:
.
Write down the equation.
Factor.
Apply Zero Product Principle: if the product is
zero, either one of the factors or both of the
factors equal zero.
Apply additive inverse.

Apply multiplicative inverse.


The solutions are:
Example 3: Solve:
.
Write down the equation.
First check that equation is set equal to zero.
Next check to see if you can factor a GCF.
Finish factoring.
Apply Zero Product Principle. We can ignore the
factor of 3- it does not equal 0.
Apply additive inverse.

The solutions are:
