Question

I need help!!
(k-1)(k+5)=0

Answer 1

I need to use the zero product property to solve it, but I don't remember how to do it.

Answer 2

Recall the zero product property:

ab = 0 if and only if a=0 or b=0.

Answer 3

Let a=k-1 and b=k+5

Answer 4

Do I multiply the numbers?

Answer 5

Nope, just solve the two equations:

k-1=0 and k+5=0.

Answer 6

Your answer will tell you for which values of k the equation (k-1)(k+5)=0 will be a true statement,

Because 0(any number)=0 and vice versa.

Answer 7

Ok! Thank you so much!
