Q. Solve for t.(t+9)(t−7)=0Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.t= _____ or t= _____
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 (t+9)(t−7)=0. Set each factor equal to zero: t+9=0 and t−7=0.
Solve First Equation: Solve the first equation t+9=0.Subtract 9 from both sides to isolate t.t+9−9=0−9t=−9
Solve Second Equation: Solve the second equation t−7=0. Add 7 to both sides to isolate t.t−7+7=0+7t=7
