Zero+Product+Property

__**Zero Product Property**__
by: Caroline

The zero product property: Is when a product of two factors is 0, then that means at least one of the factors has to be 0. Ex: a*b=0 Then either a=0 or b=0 to make the problem true.

Solve for x: (x + 3)4 = 0 In order for this to be true either x +3=0 or 4=0. Since math 4\ne0 math we must solve x+3=0. Solving this equation gives
 * Example:**

x + 3 + (-3) = 0 + (-3) x = -3

We can check out solution by plugging it into our original equation, (x+ 3) 4 = 0 (-3 + 3)4 = 0 0 * 4 = 0 This is true, so our solution is correct.
