Answer:
The zero product property states that if ab=0 , then either a=0 or b=0.
So when it comes to factors, you may have something that looks like this:
(x-1)(x+5)=0
With the property you can know that this means that you should set each factor to 0.
x-1=0 so x=1
x+5=0 so x=-5
This gives you the 2 x-intercepts of the equation 1 and -5
I hope this helped let me know if you need anything else!
