Read each question carefully and solve for the variable(s) using the Zero Product Property. Show all your work.

1. Solve for x: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

2. Solve for x: 2x(x - 7) = 0

3. Factor the quadratic expression and then solve for x: x² + 8x + 15 = 0

Factored form: ( )( ) = 0

Solutions: x = or x =

4. Factor the quadratic expression and then solve for x: x² - 4x - 21 = 0

Factored form: ( )( ) = 0

Solutions: x = or x =

5. Which of the following equations has solutions x = 2 and x = -5?

(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0

(x - 2)(x + 5) = 0

(x - 2)(x - 5) = 0

(x + 2)(x + 5) = 0

6. Solve for x: 3x² - 12x = 0

7. Solve for x: (x + 1)(x - 4) = x + 1

8. The Zero Product Property can only be applied to quadratic equations.
