Question

If you are solving the equation by factoring, which of the following equations would you use the zero product property on?

(x - 5)(x - 10) = 0
(x - 5)(x + 4) = 0
(x + 5)(x + 10) = 0

Answer 1

You would use the zero product property on (x - 5)(x - 10) = 0 and (x - 5)(x + 4) = 0 because they are both in factored form and set equal to 0.
