Q. Solve for u. 15u2−41u=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas. u=___
Factor GCF: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the equation 15u2−41u=0. The GCF of 15u2 and 41u is u. Factor out u from each term. u(15u−41)=0
Set Equal Solve: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for u.First, set u equal to zero:u=0Then, set the other factor equal to zero:15u−41=0
Solve Equation: Solve the equation 15u−41=0 for u. Add 41 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with u. 15u−41+41=0+4115u=41 Now, divide both sides by 15 to solve for u. u=1541
Write Values: Write the values of u. We have found two values of u that satisfy the equation u(15u−41)=0. u=0, 1541
