- 1
A quadratic equation has a degree of two, and solving it means finding the values that make the equation true.
- 2
Factoring a quadratic expression involves breaking it down into a product of two linear expressions, such as (px + q)(rx + s) = 0.
- 3
The zero-product property states that if the product of two factors equals zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.
