Solving Quadratic Equations: Zero Product Property

Question 8 • 26MATH_Recovery_Alg1B22

Blake knows that one of the solutions to x2 – 6x + 8 = 0 is x = 2. What is the other solution?

Answer
A
x = –6
B
x = –3
C
x = 4
D
x = 8

Explanation

Factor the quadratic: x² − 6x + 8 = (x − 2)(x − 4). Setting each factor equal to zero gives solutions x = 2 and x = 4. Since one solution is already x = 2, the other is x = 4, choice C.
