Q. Solve for s.(s+9)(s+5)=0Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.s= _____ or s= _____
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 (s+9)(s+5)=0.Set each factor equal to zero: (s+9)=0 and (s+5)=0.
Solve for s(s+9)=0: Solve for s in the equation (s+9)=0.Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation to isolate s.s+9−9=0−9s=−9
Solve for s(s+5)=0: Solve for s in the equation (s+5)=0.Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to isolate s.s+5−5=0−5s=−5
