How to Solve the Quadratic Equation by Zero Product Property?
- Ensure the quadratic equation is in the form `ax^2 + bx + c = 0`.
- Factor the quadratic expression on the left-hand side into two binomial expressions. This step might require finding two numbers that multiply to `ac` (the product of the coefficient of `x^2` and the constant term) and add to `b` (the coefficient of `x`).
- Set each factor equal to zero. The zero product property states that if `(x−p)(x−q)=0`, then `x-p=0` or `x-q=0`.
- Solve each equation separately to find the values of `x`.
