Q. Solve for s.18s2−11s=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas.s= ____
Factor GCF and Equate: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF of 18s2 and −11s is s. Factor out s from each term in the equation 18s2−11s=0. s(18s−11)=0
Apply Zero-Product Property: Apply the zero-product property.For the product of factors to be zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.Therefore, set each factor equal to zero and solve for s.s=0 and 18s−11=0
Solve for s=0: Solve the first equation.s=0 is already solved.
Solve for s=1811: Solve the second equation.18s−11=0Add 11 to both sides to isolate the term with s.18s=11Divide both sides by 18 to solve for s.s=1811
