Solve for u. u2+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=___
Q. Solve for u. u2+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=___
Identify Equation: Identify the equation to solve.We have the quadratic equationu2+3u=0.
Factor Out Common Term: Factor out the common term u. We can factor u from both terms in the equation: u(u+3)=0
Apply Zero Product Property: Apply the zero product property.If the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. Therefore, we set each factor equal to zero:u=0 or u+3=0
Solve for u: Solve each equation for u.First equation: u=0Second equation: u+3=0Subtract 3 from both sides of the second equation to solve for u:u=−3
Write Solutions: Write the solutions for u.The solutions for the equation u2+3u=0 are u=0 and u=−3.
