Q. Solve for j. j2+21j=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas. j= ____
Identify Equation: Identify the equation to solve.We have the quadratic equationj2+21j=0.
Factor Out Common Term: Factor out the common term j. We can factor j from both terms to get j(j+21)=0.
Apply Zero Product Property: Apply the zero product property.If the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. Therefore, we set each factor equal to zero:j=0j+21=0
Solve for j (First Factor): Solve for j from the first factor.From j=0, we get the first solution:j=0
Solve for j (Second Factor): Solve for j from the second factor.From j+21=0, we subtract 21 from both sides to get:j=−21
