MATHEMATICS 9 Lesson 2B: Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Some quadratic equations can be solved easily by factoring. To solve such

quadratic equations, the following procedure can be followed.

1. Transform the quadratic equation into standard form if necessary.

2. Factor the quadratic expression.
3. Apply the zero product property by setting each factor of the quadratic
expression equal to zero.
Zero Product Property
If the product of two real numbers is zero, then either of the two is equal
to zero or both numbers are equal to zero.
Examples:
1. Find the solutions of by factoring.
2. Solve by factoring.
