Zero Product Property
What must
equal?
Zero Product Property:
Either
the

factor=0
BLUE
?

*

OR
Either
the

factor=0
PINK
?
OR
=0

factors
equal 0
BOTH
?
In this example, which factor must be zero?
 BLUE
 PINK
 BOTH
 NEITHER
8

*

(x+5)
=0
8

*

(what is the solution to x+5 = 0) ?
What x value makes
the pink factor equal 0 ?
(x+5)
=0
When x = -5, the equation = 0
(8)*(     +5) = 0
(8)*(x+5) = 0
(8)*( 0 ) = 0
8
-5
0 = 0

*

(x+5)
(what is the solution to x+5 = 0) ?
What x value makes
the pink factor equal 0 ?
-5
=0
4

*

(what is the solution to x - 6 = 0) ?
What x value makes
the pink factor equal 0 ?
(x-6)
=0
What x value makes
the blue factor equal 0 ?
(what is the solution
 to x = 0) ?
x

*

What x value makes
the pink factor equal 0 ?
(x+2)
(what is the solution
 to x+2 = 0) ?
=0
When x=0,

0
 (   +2) = 0
x(x+2) = 0
0
0
x
 (2) = 0
0 = 0

*

When x=-2,

-2
(x+2)
 (      +2) = 0
-2
x(x+2) = 0
-2
 (0) = 0
0 = 0
=0
What x value makes
the blue factor equal 0 ?
(2x-8)

*

What x value makes
the pink factor equal 0 ?
(2x-6)
=0
