Quadratic Factors
1. State the problem: Solve the quadratic equation $2x^2+4x=0$.
2. Factor the equation: Factor out the greatest common factor $2x$:
$$2x(x+2)=0$$
3. Apply the zero product property: Set each factor equal to zero:
$$2x=0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x=0$$
$$x+2=0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x=-2$$
4. Conclusion: The solutions to the equation $2x^2+4x=0$ are $x=0$ and $x=-2$.
