The zero-factor property states that if a product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. Option D is directly set up to use this property, as it presents a product of two factors equal to zero.

Simplify the Power of I (4x+5)2=8( 4 x + 5 ) ^ { 2 } = 8(4x+5)2=8

Simplify the Power of I $( 4 x + 5 ) ^ { 2 } = 8$
