If can be factored such that then you can say that and are the solutions of the equation. So just work backwards.






Now that you have two factors, multiply them:



Multiplying the two binomial factors is left as an exercise for the student.

Also note that if you have an -th degree polynomial equation with a solution set , then the product of the factors will be equal to the polynomial.
