Q. Solve for d.(d+5)(d+1)=0Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.d= _____ or d= _____
Identify Property: Identify the property to use in solving the given equation.Property: Zero product property states that if the product of two factors is 0, then at least one of the factors must be 0.
Apply Zero Product Property: Apply the zero product property to the equation (d+5)(d+1)=0 by setting each factor equal to zero.First, set the first factor equal to zero: (d+5)=0.
Solve for d: Solve for d in the equation (d+5)=0.Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to isolate d.d+5−5=0−5d=−5
Set Second Factor: Now, set the second factor equal to zero: (d+1)=0.
Solve for d: Solve for d in the equation (d+1)=0.Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to isolate d.d+1−1=0−1d=−1
