Factor the quadratic: We have the quadratic equationt2−11t+10=0. To solve for t, we can factor the quadratic if possible.Factoring the quadratic equation:t2−11t+10=(t−1)(t−10)
Apply zero product property: Now that we have factored the equation, we can use the zero product property which states that if a product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.Setting each factor equal to zero gives us two equations:t−1=0 and t−10=0
Solve for t (Equation 1): Solving the first equation t−1=0 for t:t=1
Solve for t (Equation 2): Solving the second equation t−10=0 for t:t=10
