Zero Theorem

Use everything you know about quadratic equations to solve polynomial equations! Learners apply the Zero Product Property to factor and solve polynomial equations. They make a direct connection to methods they have used with quadratic...

Zero in on your pupils' understanding of solving quadratic equations. Spend time developing the purpose of the zero product property so that young mathematicians understand why the equations should be set equal to zero and how that...

Don't let it all be for naught. By watching a short video, learners see how to use the zero exponent property. The narrator works through four examples of simplifying exponential expressions by applying properties of exponents.

The central concept in this video is solving quadratics by factoring. Several examples are shown with positive and negative numbers. The instructor demonstrates setting the factored equation to zero to solve the quadratic, using a graph...

Explore the puzzle of factoring quadratic trinomials using the video lesson. The instructor demonstrates the trial and error process of finding the binomial factors. She shows how to check the factors using multiplication.

Sal explains that the most significant common factor of any number is the largest number divisible into both monomials and not necessarily the number with the most significant value. He breaks down two numbers into their prime factors as...

What's the value of 0^0? It turns out that there's a bit of controversy. A short YouTube video describes different interpretations of the value of the expression. It shows the case for 0^0 being undefined and the case for 0^0 being equal...

There is one exception to this rule, but all numbers that have a power of zero equal one. Don't believe it? Watch this video as the instructor breaks it down to prove this to be true. This makes solving a problem with a zero exponent...

Some lessons feature videos, some interactive practice problems, and some have notes and activities. This comprehensive look at factoring and solving polynomial equations using the zero product principle has all of this and more. Though...

Be a hero, not a zero! Help your classes understand how to solve quadratic equations with the zero product property using an animated simulation. Using the controls, scholars manipulate the zeros and watch as the function and its factors...
