Zero Factor Theorem:
If a quadratic equation can be
written as a product of two first
degree polynomials, then
solutions can be found by setting
each factor equal to zero.
x²-5x=14
Step 1:

Write the equation in general


form. (equated to zero)

Step 2:

Factor the quadratic.


Step 3:

Apply the Zero factor


theorem.
Step 4:

Solve the equations.


2x²-3=5x
x²=10x-25
x²=4x
x(x+2)-17=18
x²=25
Factor then solve
• x²+7x=0 • x²-14=5x
• 6s²+18s=0 • 11r+15=-2r
• t²+8t+16=0 • x²-25=0
• x²-10x+25=0 • 81-4x²=0
• h²+6h=16 • 4s²+9=12s
