CPM Homework Help : CCAA8 Problem 10-72

Solve the quadratic equation below twice, once using the Zero Product Property and once using the Quadratic Formula. Verify that the solutions from both methods are the same.

$2x^2-19x+9=0$

Hint:

Remember that the Quadratic Formula is

$\textit{x} = \frac {-\textit{b} \pm \sqrt {\textit{b}^2 - 4\textit{ac}}}{2\textit{a}}$

More Help:

To use the Zero Product Property, factor the quadratic equation, then find which values of $x$ will make the equation equal zero.
