Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
The zero factor property states that if a × b = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0 or both = 0.
- •
When solving quadratic equations by factoring, the x-intercepts on the graph represent the values that make the equation equal to 0.
- •
When factoring a quadratic equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0 where a ≠ 1, techniques like grouping, trial and error, or the bottoms up method can be used.
