The document discusses solving polynomial equations in factored form using the zero-product property. It states that a polynomial is in factored form if it is written as the product of two or more linear factors, with a linear factor having an x term raised to the first power. The zero-product property says that if the product of two terms is zero, then one of the terms must be zero. The document provides an example and explains that to graph a polynomial equation in factored form, you use the zero-product property to solve for the x-intercepts and find the vertex coordinates.

2. A polynomial is in factored form if it is written as the product of two or more linear factors.

3. A polynomial is in factored form if it is written as the product of two or more linear factors.A linear factor has x to the power of one.

4. The zero-product property states:If ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0.
