1. Solving Polynomial Equations in Factored Form Algebra 1 10.4 Using the Zero-Product Property

2. A polynomial is in factored form if it is written as the product of two or more linear factors.

3. A polynomial is in factored form if it is written as the product of two or more linear factors. A linear factor has x to the power of one.

4. The zero-product property states: If ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0.
