Today's first videos combine factoring out the GCF and one of your other factoring techniques. Today's second videos show you how to use factoring to solve a certain kind of quadratic equation. Please notice the zero-product method is the only section in this chapter to concentrate on solving an equation. This material is covered on pages 241 through 248 in the Engaging Algebra text.
5.9 Factoring Out the GCF First
After practicing with these problems you'll be able to prime factor polynomials that contain a GCF and one other factoring technique.
5.10 The Zero-Product Method
After completing this section you'll be able to solve quadratic equations where, after setting the polynomial equal to zero, you're able to factor the polynomial.
