The idea of the Zero Product Property is that if
A*B = 0
then
A = 0 or B = 0
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
So how would you use that idea in this case?
OpenStudy (phebe):
yess ik that thanx thoee i juss need help with the question
OpenStudy (phebe):
do imultiply
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
think of A as -3m
think of B as 2m-5

when multiplied, the product is zero. this means that one factor is zero. so you just set both factors equal to zero and solve
-3m=0 and 2m-5=0
OpenStudy (phebe):
okk
OpenStudy (phebe):
so do u know the answer
OpenStudy (acxbox22):
just solve the 2 equations
OpenStudy (phebe):
ok hold on k

wat u need
OpenStudy (acxbox22):
-3m=0 and 2m-5=0
-3m=0
divide both sides by -3 (hint: 0 divided by anthing is 0)
2m-5=0
2m=5
divide both sides by 5
OpenStudy (phebe):
ok i got that @acxbox22 is that all i need to do
OpenStudy (phebe):
@yahman do u know ho wwot do this

ya wait hmmmmmmmmmmm
OpenStudy (acxbox22):
yeah, plus you are going to have 2 solutions , 1 from each equation
OpenStudy (phebe):
ok @yahman nd @acxbox22
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Get Zero on one side of the equal sign
Factor the equation
Split the equation up
Solve each equation
OpenStudy (phebe):
ok

Solve (x + 3)(x - 5) = 0
-Zero is on one side of the equal sign
-The equation is already factored
-Split each set of
parentheses into its
own equation
x + 3 = 0 or x - 5 = 0
x = -3 or x = 5
Solve each equation {-3, 5}
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is the example
OpenStudy (phebe):
ok

see my pic pheb
OpenStudy (phebe):
yess
