Lesson Summary:

In this lesson, you will learn how to find the zeroes of a quadratic equation using the diamond method. By factoring out the common factors, you can solve for the zeroes of the equation using the 0 product property. With a little practice, you can easily solve quadratic equations with A greater than 1.

Lesson Description:

How to find the zeros of a quadratic equation

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.

    The instructor uses the "diamond" method to factor a quadratic equation with a leading coefficient greater than 1. He then uses the zero product property to solve the equation.
