Q. Solve for h.(h+1)(h+5)=0Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.h= _____ or h= _____
Identify Property: Identify the property to use in solving the given equation.Property: Zero product property, which 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 (h+1)(h+5)=0. Set each factor equal to zero: (h+1)=0 and (h+5)=0.
Solve First Equation: Solve the first equation (h+1)=0.Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate h.h+1−1=0−1h=−1
Solve Second Equation: Solve the second equation (h+5)=0. Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate h. h+5−5=0−5h=−5
