Solve Quadratic Equations by FactoringTo find the solutions of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, factor the left side and use the Zero Product Property.

ZPP Zero Product Property If AB = 0 then A = 0 or B = 0.

Set each of the factors equal to zero and solve for x in each equation.

Examples: Factor the quadratic equations and use the ZPP to find the solutions of the equation.
