Factoring a Quadratic Equation when c = 0
In this lesson, we learn how to factor a quadratic equation when the constant term (c) equals 0. The first step is to factor out the common factor, which in this case is x. By using the zero product property and setting each factor equal to 0, we can solve for x and find the root solutions. This method is helpful for graphing the equation and finding where the graph crosses the x-axis.
How to factor a quadratic equation when c=0
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.

This video is a nice example of solving a quadratic equation when the constant is zero. The instructor factors out a common term and then uses the zero product property to solve the equation.
