Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
Factored Form To write a quadratic equation with roots p and q, let (x – p)(x – q) = 0. Then multiply using FOIL.

Example: Write a quadratic equation in standard form with the given roots.

a. 3, –5 𝟕 𝟏
b. − 𝟖, 𝟑
(x – p)(x – q) = 0 Write the pattern.
(x – p)(x – q) = 0
(x – 3)[x – (–5)] = 0 Replace p with 3, q with –5. 7 1
[𝑥 − (− 8)] (𝑥 − 3) = 0
(x – 3)(x + 5) = 0 Simplify.

Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
Solve Equations by Factoring When you use factoring to solve a quadratic equation, you use the following property.
Zero Product Property For any real numbers a and b, if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0, or both a and b = 0.

Example: Solve each equation by factoring.


a. 3𝒙𝟐 = 15x b. 4𝒙𝟐 – 5x = 21
3𝑥 2 = 15x Original equation 4𝑥 2 – 5x = 21 Original equation

3𝑥 2 – 15x = 0 Subtract 15x from both sides. 4𝑥 2 – 5x – 21 = 0 Subtract 21 from both sides.

3x(x – 5) = 0 Factor the binomial. (4x + 7)(x – 3) = 0 Factor the trinomial.

3x = 0 or x – 5 = 0 Zero Product Property 4x + 7 = 0 or x – 3 = 0 Zero Product Property


7
x = 0 or x=5 Solve each equation. x = − or x=3 Solve each equation.
4
The solution set is {0, 5}. 7
The solution set is {− 4 , 3}.

Exercises
Solve each equation by factoring.
1. 6𝑥 2 – 2x = 0 2. 𝑥 2 = 7x 3. 20𝑥 2 = –25x

4. 6𝑥 2 = 7x 5. 6𝑥 2 – 27x = 0 6. 12𝑥 2 – 8x = 0

7. 𝑥 2 + x – 30 = 0 8. 2𝑥 2 – x – 3 = 0 9. 𝑥 2 + 14x + 33 = 0

10. 4𝑥 2 + 27x – 7 = 0 11. 3𝑥 2 + 29x – 10 = 0 12. 6𝑥 2 – 5x – 4 = 0

13. 12𝑥 2 – 8x + 1 = 0 14. 5𝑥 2 + 28x – 12 = 0 15. 2𝑥 2 – 250x + 5000 = 0
