MECHANICS:
You will be given some questions that
are answerable by YES or NO. If your answer
is “YES”, then you need to stand up, and if
your answer is “NO”, then you have to sit
down.
 Question #2:
Do you love factorial?
 Question #3:
Are quadratic equations the
same with quadratic
expressions?
 Question #4:
Is there any difference
between linear equation and
quadratic equation?
 Question #5:
Is this an example of a
quadratic equation?

Zero-Product Theorem

If ab = 0, then a = 0, b = 0, or
both a and b are equal to 0.
STEPS IN SOLVING QUADRATIC
EQUATION BY FACTORING
1. Write the quadratic equation in standard form.
2. Factor the quadratic expression.
3. Use the Zero Product Property.
4. Solve the linear equations.
5. Check.
