(Eduardo N. Malabag Jr. Ph,D.)

Solves quadratic equations by: (a)

extracting square roots; (b) factoring;
(c) completing the square; and (d)
using the quadratic formula. (M9AL-
la-b-1)
Module 2b: Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
To solve quadratic equations by
factoring, apply the Zero Product
Property which states that, if the
product of two real numbers is zero,
then one or both of the numbers must
be zero.
Thus, if ab = 0, then either a = 0, or b =
0 or both equal 0.
