Question

Can someone help me with zero product property problem?

Answer 1

What is the question?

Answer 2

The story problem here is:
A child launches a toy rocket from the top of a slide at the park. Suppose the equation
16t^2 + 28t + 8 = 0 can be used to find how many seconds it will take for the rocket to hit the ground.

Answer 3

So I have to write the form of the equation which was: -4(t - 2)(4t + 1) = 0
Then I had to find the values of t which were: 2, -1/4

Answer 4

I was able to answer those, but it's this question that I don't know how to answer:

Explain how the solution relates to this situation.
