Factor out j: First, we need to factor out j from the equation.j(j+11)=0
Apply zero product property: Next, we apply the zero product property which states that if a product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.So, we set each factor equal to zero and solve for j.j=0 or j+11=0
Solve for j: Now, we solve each equation for j. For the first equation, we already have j=0. For the second equation, we subtract 11 from both sides to solve for j. j+11−11=0−11j=−11
