Question

When do you use the zero factor property?

Answer 1

When you have some thing like this

Solve for x

`x ( x+ 5 ) ( 10 x - 10 ) ( x - 25)= 0`

So for this phenomena to occur one thing which must be true is that One of the terms must be 0

so

any one the following equation have to be true to get the final answer as 0.

`to x= 0`

`to ( x+ 5 )= 0`

`to ( 10 x - 10 ) = 0`

`to ( x - 25)= 0`

So the possibilities for the value of x are:
`x= 0 ,-5,1,25`
