Before starting to solve the quadratic equation follow the steps below. Expand the expression and clear all fractions if necessary. Use the Zero Product Property.
X-1 x30 x 1x 3 0.
Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem. Factorize the equation by breaking down the middle term. Now if this is the first time that youve seen this type of whats essentially a quadratic equation you might be tempted to try to solve for s using traditional algebraic means but the best way to solve this especially when its explicitly equal to 0 is to factor the left-hand side and then think about the fact that those binomials that you factor into that they have to be equal to 0. To be in the correct form you must remove all parentheses from each side of the equation by distributing combine all like terms and finally set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.
