Q. Solve for u. 40u2+3u=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 40u2+3u=0. The GCF of 40u2 and 3u is u. Factor out u from each term. u(40u+3)=0
Set Equal to Zero: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for u. First, set u equal to zero: u=0 This is one solution. Next, set the other factor equal to zero: 40u+3=0
Solve for u: Solve the equation 40u+3=0 for u.Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with u.40u+3−3=0−340u=−3Divide both sides by 40 to solve for u.u=−403
