The Zero-Product Property

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The zero-product property states that if a product equals zero, at least one factor equals zero.

Show

(x − 3)(x + 2) = 0 splits into x = 3 or x = −2 — two small equations from one factored one.

Watch for

The property reads products equal to zero only.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
