The Zero Product Property states that if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0, or both a and b are 0. When the product of factors equals zero, one or more of the factors must also equal zero. Once the polynomial is factored, set each factor equal to zero and solve them separately.
The answer is (4,5) (5,-5) (6,-4) (7,3) (8,1).
The standard form of a quadratic equation is
,
where
,
, and
are coefficients. You want to get the given equation into this form. You can accomplish this by putting all the non-zero values on the left side on the equation.
In this case, the given equation is

Since
is on the right side of the equation, we subtract that from both sides. The resulting equation is

Looking at the standard form equation
, we can see that
