SOLUTIONS OF COMPLETE QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

There are solutions of Complete quadratic equations, one of it is Solution by zero product property.
Zero product property means that (m)(n)=0 means that m=0 or n=0
Example
(x+3) (2x-3)
Change x with x
1
+3=0 and then transpose,
x
1
= -3
2x-3=0
2x
2
-3=0
2x
2
=3
Divide by 2= x
2
= 3/2
Before you solve it, it should be on its factored form.
Another example:
X
2
+x-6=0 This equation should be factored first before using zero product property
The factors are (x+3) (x-2) = 0
So x
1
=-3
and x
2
=2
Another, 2x
2
-5x-3=0
Find the factors of -6 which is from the product of the coefficients of the last term and first term
And when you add the factors the result is the middle term coefficient, so it is -6&1

Rewrite the middle term
2x
2
-6x+x-3=0
Gcf; 2x(x+3) +1(x-3)=0
(2x+1) (x+3)
X
1
= -
x
2
=3
