Finding x intercepts from polynomials by factoring

Introduction to Polynomial Intercepts (00:00 - 00:40)

• Overview of what $x$-intercepts represent on a graph, specifically where the function crosses the horizontal axis when $y = 0$.

Factoring Techniques (00:40 - 01:25)

• Discussion on using algebraic factoring to solve polynomial equations, such as pulling out the greatest common factor and factoring quadratics.

The Zero Product Property (01:25 - 02:00)

• Application of the Zero Product Property to set each factor to zero and find the exact coordinates for the $x$-intercepts.
