In this chapter, you will learn:
- A method to change a quadratic equation written as a sum into its product form (also called its factored form).
- Shortcuts for factoring some quadratics.
- A method to find the x-intercepts of a parabola using the Zero Product Property.
- Another way to write the equation of a parabola, called graphing form, and use square roots to find the x-intercepts.
- How to “complete the square” to change between standard form and graphing form of a quadratic function.
