Solving Equations by Using the Zero Product Rule

  1. $\rhd$ Solving quadratic equations by factoring (6:21) Sal solves $s^2-2s-35 = 0$
  2. $\star$ Solving quadratic equations with leading coefficient 1 (i.e., of the form $x^2 +bx+c = 0$).
  3.  $\rhd$ Solving quadratic equations with leading coefficient not equal to one (4:35)  Example solved: $6x^2 – 120x + 600 = 0$.
  4. $\star$ Solving quadratic equations with leading coefficient not equal to one, i.e., of the form $ax^2 +bx +c = 0$ where $a \neq 1$.
  5.  $\rhd$ Solving quadratics using structure (3:55) Solve the equation (2x-3)^2 = 4x-3 by making the substitution p = 2x-3.
