Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-2x-3+=+0\"$ Factor the trinomial.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-3%29%28x%2B1%29+=+0\"$ Apply the zero product rule.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-3+=+0\"$ or $\"x%2B1+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+3\"$ or $\"x+=+-1\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
